Distribution of study observations

EDTNA-ERCA Journal, 2002
Suppose that you took a sample of dialysis centres in your country and collected individual information from more than a thousand dialysis patients. Suppose you are interested in the age these patients were when they started dialysis, how can you investigate and summarize this result?

Observational Study Design

2007
Much can be learned about a process by observing changes over time or by comparing two different processes under different conditions. This chapter introduces the major types of observational study designs: the longitudinal or cohort study, the comparative or case-control study, and some of their variants.
