Observational Studies

Respiratory Care, 2023
Studies can be observational or experimental. With an observational study, the investigator does not determine the assignment of subjects, and there might not be a control group.

Their disadvantage is their susceptibility to biases and

Bias in observational studies

Bias is an important issue in observational studies, and it should be carefully considered when interpreting the results of such studies.
