   Abstract : An important cause of death among patients undergoing surgery of the abdominal aorta is intestinal ischaemia. In the Swedish Vascular Registry 2930 aortoiliac operations were identified. The complication was studied in a combined cohort and case-control study, and multivariate analysis performed. The incidence of intestinal ischaemia was 2. READ MORE

5. 3. Efficient design and analysis of extended case-control studies

   Author : Bénédicte Delcoigne; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The nested case-control design is widely used in epidemiology for its efficiency, as it combines the advantages of both cohort and case-control designs. This design is an extension of the matched case-control design, where the matching variable is the time of occurrence of the outcome. READ MORE

6. 4. Causal inference and case-control studies with applications related to childhood diabetes
