Outcomes in Cohort Studies [PDF]
The initial intellectual appeal of the cohort design for epidemiologic studies stems from the obvious fact that the method of subject selection leaves little doubt about the temporal relation between the exposure and the disease whose relation is under study.

However, often each individual cohort dataset does not have all variables of interest for an integrative analysis collected as a ...
