INTRODUCTION
A study that compare two groups of people, those with the disease
or condition under study (case) and a very similar group of people
who do not have the disease or condition (controls).
Essential elements
Both exposure and disease have occurred
Proceeds from effects to cause
Uses a comparison ‘control’ group.

STEPS IN CASE CONTROL
Selecting of cases and controls.
Matching.
Measurement of exposure.
Analysis and interpretation.
![Page 7: Case control study (Review of an Article)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58ed22661a28ab55028b45e5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
S E L E C T I O N O F C A S E S A N D C O N T R O L S
Define case – Diagnostic and eligibility criteria.
Sources of cases- Hospital, General population.
Define control – Free from disease
Sources of Control – Hospital, Relatives, Neighborhood controls,
General population.
Number of controls.

MATCHING
Ensure comparability between cases and controls
A confounding factor is defined as one which is associated both
with exposure and disease, and is distributed unequally in study and
control groups.
Suspected etiological factor should not be matched
Types of matching : Pair, Frequency
![Page 9: Case control study (Review of an Article)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58ed22661a28ab55028b45e5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MEASURE THE EXPOSURE
Define exposure-
Measure in precisely the same manner both for cases and controls
![Page 10: Case control study (Review of an Article)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58ed22661a28ab55028b45e5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ANALYSIS
Exposure rate among cases and controls
Odds Ratio – AD/BC (also called cross product ratio)
Example: Depression and Vegetable eating
Individuals with
depression (cases)
Individuals without
depression (controls)
Total
Eat Vegetables 90 90 180
Do not eat
Vegetables
130 130 260
Tatal 220 220 440

ANALYSIS..
Odds of exposure among cases : A/C = 90/130 = 0.6923
Odds of exposure among controls : B/D = 90/130 = 0.6923
Odds Ratio = 0.6923/0.6923 =1.0

BIASES
Memory or recall bias
Selection bias
Interviewer bias
Bias due to confounders
![Page 13: Case control study (Review of an Article)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58ed22661a28ab55028b45e5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
Advantages Disadvantages
Easy to carry out Subject to several biases
Rapid results Selection of controls difficult
Inexpensive Incidence can’t be measured
Suitable for rare diseases Association doesn’t mean causation
No risk to subjects Not practical for rare exposure
Minimal attrition
Multiple exposures can be studied

I NTRODUCTI ON OF THE STUDY
Background and Purpose: Previous studies have reported a U-shaped
relation between alcohol consumption and stroke. Those studies have been
criticized for failing to distinguish between lifelong abstainers from alcohol
and those who have given up drinking.
Objective : The contribution of alcohol to the risk of stroke
in moderate and heavy drinkers, lifelong abstainers and current
abstainers using validated measures of alcohol consumption.
Methods: They examined current and previous drinking habits of 364 cases
of acute stroke and 364 community-based control subjects matched for age,
sex, and family practitioner.

I NTRODUCTI ON OF THE STUDY
Results: Stroke patients were more likely to have been lifelong
abstainers from alcohol than were the control subjects. The odds
ratio (OR) of lifelong abstainers versus those who had ever drunk
regularly was 2.36 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.67 to 3.37). No
relation was found between stroke and current nondrinkers. Current
male heavy drinkers also had an increased risk of stroke (OR, 2.88;
95% CI, 1.08 to 2.31).
Conclusions:……………….

SUMMARY
![Page 18: Case control study (Review of an Article)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58ed22661a28ab55028b45e5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CRITIQUES
Positive :
I. This study shows the well established relationship between alcohol
consumption and strokes.
II. The study show not only the relationship between alcohol
consumption & strokes, but also show the relation with other disease
like hypertension, cerebral infarction etc.
Negatives :
I. Cases of the study is only from the hospital record, while controls are
taken from community.
II. Study does not described clearly about the hypertension and cerebral
infarction.

CONCLUSION & REFRENCE
Conclusion
Lifelong abstention from alcohol is associated with an increased
risk of stroke. Moderate alcohol consumption may protect against
cerebrovascular disease.
