Case-Control Studies

Objectives How to design a case-control study? When to use case-control study? How to minimize bias in case-control study? How to establish association between exposure and outcome?

Case-Control It is observational analytic epidemiologic investigation Subjects are grouped based on their outcome The groups are then compared with respect to the proportion having history of an exposure or characteristic of interest

Case control studies Are good for long latency period (efficient in time and costs) Are good for rare diseases allow for evaluation of a wide range of potential etiologic exposures Major problem with this design: Both exposure and disease have already occurred at the time the participants enter the study

Aspects to be considered You have to: Guarantee comparability between cases and controls Do your best to obtain accurate and complete data Have different sources of information (about exposure and disease) and insure the validity of these sources Clear definition of the outcome (homogenous disease entity) e.g. congenital malformation Definite Probable possible

Selection of cases Hospital-based case-control study Population-based case-control study Validity should not be compromised in an attempt to achieve generalizability

Selection of controls The controls must be selected to represent not the entire nondiseased population But they should represent the population of individuals who would have been identified and included as cases had they developed the outcome Sources of controls could be: Hospital controls General population controls Special controls such as: Friends Neighbors Relatives How many controls per case should be used (1:1 to 4(controls):1(case))

Advantages of using hospitalized controls Easily identified Readily available in sufficient numbers Reduce recall bias (how?) Minimizing bias due to nonresponse (how?) What is (are) the disadvantage(s) of having hospitalized controls

Ascertainment of Disease and Exposure Status Any potential source of information must be carefully considered (accurate and comparable for all study groups) Possible sources of information: Death certificates Case registries Office records of physicians Hospital admission or discharge records Log books HIS

Exposure From study subjects Surrogate Medical records HIS IT IS ADVISED TO HAVE THE INTERVIEWER UNAWRE OF THE HYPOTHESIS, WHY? IT IS RECOMMENDED TO OBTAIN EXPOSURE INFORMATION FROM RECORDS COMPLETED BEFORE THE OCCURNCE OF THE OUTCOME, WHY?

The role of bias Selection bias: Observation bias: Recall bias: Can occur whenever the inclusion of cases or controls into the study depends in some way on the exposure of interest Observation bias: This type of bias may arise because of the prior knowledge of the disease status by the participant or by the investigator Recall bias: Relates to differences in the ways exposure information is remembered by cases and by controls. Misclassification: Refers to error in the categorization of either exposure or disease status Differential vs NonDifferential

Strength and limitations of case-control study Strengths: Relatively quick and inexpensive Well-suited to the evaluation of diseases with long latent periods. Optimal for the evaluation of rare diseases Can examine multiple etiologic factors for a single disease

Strength and limitations of case-control study Insufficient for the evaluation of rare exposures In some situations, the temporal relationship between exposure and disease may be difficult to establish It is particularly prone to bias (selection and recall) exposure and disease
