选择对照的原则 Rules of control selection
病例和对照来自于同一人群或人群组 Cases and controls
come from the same base (population or population subset)
病例和对照间除了要研究的暴露因素外其他越相似越好 Selection designed to increase similarity with cases for all
characteristics except the exposures under investigation
如果对照发生了疾病,那么也会变成病例的一部分 If
controls had developed illness, they would have been detected
as a case
![Page 3: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
在工厂、学校、小村庄中选择对照 Selection of controls: factories, schools, institutions, small villages
• 常常有各群组的名单 Lists are available by groups
• 用单纯随机、系统抽样或其他方法来抽样 Random, systematic or other probability selection from lists.
• 若各群组罹患率不同,应使病例和对照中各组人数平衡 If attack rates differ by group then balance cases to controls by group.

在“开放”人群中选择对照 Control selection in an “open” population
没有有用的名单 No useful list
例:o 大单位或工厂 Large institutions or factorieso 城镇 Townso 城市 Citieso 县 Countieso 省 Provinces,o 国家 Countries
![Page 7: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
根据入选标准,从范围较小的人群中选择 We select from a more limited population defined by eligibility criteria
将人群根据以下特征进行定义 Population + collection of persons defined by:o 时间 Timeo 地点 Placeo 人群 Person
用入选标准,从这一假定人群中选择对照 Use eligibility criteria to select from this hypothetical population
![Page 8: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
病例和对照应该用同样的入选标准 Eligibility criteria should be applied equally to cases and controls.
![Page 9: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
例:在一个 1,110,000 人的城市中有 150 个病例。需要随机选择对照 You have 150 cases in a city of 1,110,000 you select controls at random
如何选择对照? How do you select
controls?
要考虑哪些问题? What must you think
about?
假定我们随机选择了 150 名对照 Let’s take a
random selection of 150
![Page 10: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
但是,分析时却发现病例和对照的分布如下 But you find in analysis the following distribution of cases and controls
Group Cases Controls
流动人口 A Mobile A 50 2
流动人口 B Mobile B 50 15
当地固定人口 Local 50 133
合计 All 150 150
为什么会发生这样的问题? Why??
![Page 11: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
因为大多数暴露都发生在较小的人群组内 Much of the exposure was in a limited population.
Group Cases People Controls
流动人口 A Mobile A 50 10000 2
流动人口 B Mobile B 50 100000 15
当地固定人口 Local 50 1000000 133
合计 All 150 1110000 150
所面临的问题与前面“封闭”人群中的情况相似 You will risk the same problem as in the earlier example in a closed population.

假设病例的年龄分布不均衡 Imagine that the case have a limited age distribution.

对人群中进行随机抽样作为对照组 A probability survey can be a control group
优点 Strength o 较少偏倚 Less subject to biases
o 抽样比例已知,因此可以计算率 Sampling fraction known – one can estimate risk
缺点 Weaknesso 代价昂贵 Expensive
o 需要处理复杂抽样的分析问题 Need to handle complex survey analysis
![Page 14: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
家庭内的对照效率很高 Household controls are very efficient
对照与病例在许多因素上很类似 Similar to cases in many factors besides the disease
病例和对照的暴露机会机会完全均等 Exposure opportunity nearly identical to cases
每一个家庭可以看出是一个小的队列 Each household and be a small cohort
实施较容易,常常配合良好 Logistics and cooperation are easy
可以研究家庭外的暴露因素 Evaluates exposures outside the home
缺点:可选择的人数有限,尤其是要对年龄或性别进行匹配时 Limited in numbers -- age or sex
![Page 15: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
朋友、同学、同事对照很方便 Friends, schoolmates, and workmates are very convenient controls
优点 Strength
病例与对照间许多因素类似 Similar to cases in many factors besides the disease
实施较容易,常常配合良好 Logistics and cooperation are easy
缺点 Weakness
o被人提名作为对照,常常与暴露有关 Being named may be related to exposure
o病例影响对照的选择 Case influences control selection
o重复:同一个人可能被两个病例所提名 Overlap – same person named by ≥ 2 cases
![Page 16: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
邻居对照:可以减少可能的地区偏倚 Selection of neighbors handles potential geographic biases
比抽样较容易实施 Logistics more simple than surveys
若入户调查病例家庭,这一方法很好 Good if visits to case-household are done
邻居对照有很高的暴露机会 High probability of exposure opportunity
在对照家庭内随机抽取对照 Best to use a random selection rule inside the neighborhood
需要进行多次家访 Will require revisits
![Page 17: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
医院或诊所病人作为对照 Persons coming to the same hospital and clinic as a case are possible controls.
易得到、易面访 Easy to obtain and interview
如果对照也发病,比较容易发现 If they develop the disease the probability is high that they would be detected
对照与病例之间暴露机会可能不同 Can have different exposures than study base
可能会有其他的暴露、或因治疗而受到保护 Can have other exposures and protective effects from treatment and management
![Page 18: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
某特殊危险因素在病例和对照间的分布可能迥异 The control can differ from the base population by special risk factors

对照可能是人群中一个特殊群组。这种选择性对研究的影响无法预料 These controls are a very special subgroup of the study base. Their effect is not predictable
![Page 19: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
其他“与疾病有关”的对照也有同样问题 Other “disease dependent” control selection have similar problems
阴性实验室结果 Negative laboratory tests
监测系统中的其他疾病病例 Other diseases detected in surveillance
![Page 20: 病例对照研究中对照的选择 Selection of controls in a case-control or case-base study](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012309/568132f6550346895d99b2fb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
时间上的可比性:举例 Time comparability: Example
病例对照研究,调查医院中败血症的危险因素 Case-control study examining risk factors for septicaemia in a hospital
o怀疑中心静脉导管是危险因素 Central venous line is a suspected risk factor
o若某位被感染的医护人员是感染来源,则暴露会根据该医护人员是否上班发生时间变异 If an infected health care worker is a source of infection, the effect of exposure (central line) will vary over time (presence of the health care worker)

需要为每名病例选择 >1 名对照吗? Should you select > 1 control per case
病例数比对照数重要 Case numbers are more important
为每名病例选择≥ 1 名对照可以增加统计效力 ≥ 1 control per case can increase statistical power
≥ 4 名对照时,统计效力增加得很有限 ≥ 4 does not improve power
5-6 名对照在病例数很少时可能有帮助 5 to 6 helps with very low (≤ 10) case numbers
