Case-control studies are retrospective investigations in which a diseased group (cases) and a disease-free group (controls) are compared with the aim of uncovering risk factors that differ between the groups. Many times, cause-effect relationships between the risk factor and disease are inferred from the results. Many important risk factors have been identified through the use of a casecontrol ...

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disorder associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

The aims of this casecontrol study were to assess whether differences in cardiovascular surrogate markers exist in COPD to further understand the...

create a niche for M. tuberculosis (10). Our hypothesis could be refuted or corroborated in several ways, for example, by a case-control study of HIV-negative patients infected with tuberculosis. If this study refutes our hypothesis, the idea that sex hormones play a direct role in the immune response to M. tuberculosis would be supported. Such findings might also provide possibilities for drug...

These studies proceed from effect (e.g. health outcome, condition, disease) to cause (exposure). Case-control studies assess whether exposure is disproportionately distributed between the cases and controls, which may indicate that the exposure is a risk factor for the health...
