Case‐control studies and bayesian inference
Statistics in Medicine, 1986AbstractWe outline the methods of Bayesian inference for applications to case‐control studies. These methods appear as the natural way of making inferences, since much of the controversy that surrounds a specific case‐control study is subjective. We derive conjugate prior distributions of exposure, posterior distributions of the ratio of the odds of ...

Case-Control Studies of Screening
International Journal of Epidemiology, 1991The application of case-control studies to the evaluation of screening data presents a number of potential problems. In particular, the results are liable to be affected by selection bias. Published case-control studies of breast cancer screening are reviewed in the light of the results of a recent UK study of somewhat different design which attempts ...

The association between suicide and the use of calcium channel blockers in people with hypertension was investigated using a nested case-control study design.1 Data were taken from the general practice research database, a computerised database of anonymised longitudinal medical records collected prospectively in primary care. The cohort of people with

Preventive Medicine, 1994
The nested case-control study design (or the case-control in a cohort study) is described here and compared with other designs, including the classic case-control and cohort studies and the case-cohort study. In the nested case-control study, cases of a disease that occur in a defined cohort are identified and, for each, a specified number of matched ...

The evolving case-control study
Journal of Chronic Diseases, 1979Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the limitations in the understanding of case-control study and suggests the areas where new knowledge should improve the technique. Epidemiology is defined as “the science of disease occurrence.” It is the science that deals with the environmental causes of diseases of humans as inferred from observations of ...

On the Design of Synthetic Case-Control Studies
Biometrics, 1986A design is proposed for "case-control within cohort" studies. In this design, controls are sampled without replacement from failure-free members of the cohort at each distinct failure time. Upon selection, a subject ceases to be eligible for control selection at later failure times.

Observations are fundamental to medical knowledge, but we must be able to describe our observations accurately so that correct information is transmitted to our peers. Observations may be communicated by means of case reports and these in turn may lead to the discovery of new diseases, such as Lyme disease, which was identified after the initial ...
