This book covers classic epidemiological designs that use a
reference/control group, including case-control, case-cohort,
nested case-control and variations of these designs, such as
stratified and two-stage designs. It presents a unified view of
these sampling designs as representations of an underlying cohort
or target population of interest. This enables various extended
designs to be introduced and analysed with a similar approach:
extreme sampling on the outcome (extreme case-control design) or on
the exposure (exposure-enriched, exposure-density, countermatched),
designs that re-use prior controls and augmentation sampling
designs. Further extensions exploit aggregate data for efficient
cluster sampling, accommodate time-varying exposures and combine
matched and unmatched controls. Self-controlled designs, including
case-crossover, self-controlled case series and exposure-crossover,
are also presented. The test-negative design for vaccine studies
and the use of negative controls for bias assessment are introduced
and discussed. This book is intended for graduate students in
biostatistics, epidemiology and related disciplines, or for health
researchers and data analysts interested in extending their
knowledge of study design and data analysis skills. This book
Bridges the gap between epidemiology and the more mathematically
oriented biostatistics books. Assembles the wealth of
epidemiological knowledge about observational study designs that is
scattered over several decades of scientific publications.
Illustrates the performance of methods in real research
applications. Provides guidelines for implementation in standard
software packages (Stata, R). Includes numerous exercises, covering
simple mathematical proofs, consideration of proposed or published
designs, and practical data analysis.
