TIME AND TYPES OF STUDY PAST PRESENT FUTURE Retrospective Cross-sectional Prospective Time
PRESENT Cross-sectional Time CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
ANALYTICAL STUDY A cross-sectional study: • Privides a snap shot • Is simple • Provides associated factor • Is first line of epidemiologic research
CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY What is different about: • DM • Morbidity (Complications) • Mortality (Death) How is it different about: • SES • Age at onset • Season
Korea Japan Kuwait Israel England Canada Netheland Denmark Pittsburgh, USA Scotland Sweden Finland CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY Incidence /100,000
PRESENT Disease PAST Time RETROSPECTIVE STUDY Determining differences in: • Life style • Diet • Reproductive on • Medication • Family Hx • Genetics
Suitable for rare diseases Inexpensive Minimal ethical problems Short study time Small # of subjects Subjects need not volunteer Susceptable to selection & memory bias Inconsistency: definitions of symptoms or diseases may have been modified over time. Can not determine incidence Limitations in data Relative risk approximation RETROSPECTIVE STUDY: PROS & CONS PRO CON
Retinopathy+ Future Retinopathy- Time PROSPECTIVE STUDY PRESENT DM Risk factors???
Less variability to bias No recall necessary Incidence determined Relative risk accurate Consistent disease definitions & symptoms. Longer time Common disease only Expensive Ethical concern A high drop-out rate Volunteers needed A large # of subjects needed The Hawthorne-effect PROSPECTIVE STUDY: PROS & CONS PRO CON
