Study Notes
Study Designs in Epidemiology
- Primary source of data in a case report is an individual patient's data.
- Main focus of a cohort study is to examine the relationship between a risk factor and an outcome over time.
- Correlation study in an analytical study identifies the association between two or more variables.
- Individual case report is distinguished by its focus on a single patient's experience.
- Cross-sectional study design focuses on describing the distribution of disease in a population at a specific point in time.
- Cohort study's main focus is to identify the causes of a disease or condition by examining the characteristics of a group of people over time.
- Individual case report is distinguished by its detailed examination of a single patient's experience, including medical history, symptoms, and treatment.
- Correlation study examines the relationship between variables, but does not establish causality.
- Primary source of data in a case report is the patient's medical history, symptoms, and treatment outcomes.
- Cross-sectional study provides a snapshot of the population's health at a specific point in time.
