Are the results of this harm/etiology study valid?
+ 控制組
+ 客觀、或盲化(blind)
– 治療、暴露、結果
+ 追蹤:
– 時間:是否夠長
– 完整性:lost to follow up (<20%)
+ 因果相關
Case Control
RCT or cohort
+ Confounding factor: exposed and non-
exposed not randomized
+ Prospective vs retrospective
Retrospective cohort
 Administrative databases
 健保資料庫

+ the outcome of interest is rare or takes a long
time to develop
– 腫瘤、矽肺病
– 只能使用 case control study
+ 有些 confounder 無法測量
– Transient
– To severe leading to death
+ The selection of control
+ Statistical significance, if large number of
association factors
+ Exposure and outcome are measured at the
same time
+ case reports of one patient (or a case series of
a few patients)
– Thalidomide and 海豹肢症
+ highlight the need for other studies
+ Blind, objective
+ Administrative database
– 健保資料庫,病歷紀錄
+ Patient or doctor recall
+ 統計相關不等於因果相關
+ Diagnostic tests for causation
– the exposure preceded the onset of the outcome
– a dose–response gradient?
– dechallenge–rechallenge
– the association consistent from study to study
+ Does the association make biological sense?
Are the valid results of this harm study important?

+ risks = odds/(1 + odds)
+ odds = (risk/1 – risk)
+ ORs and RRs >1:接觸者得病的機會增加
+ ORs and RRs <1:接觸者得病的機會減少
+ 通常
– case control study, OR >4, 認為有意義
– Cohort study, RR>3 就認為有意義
– 還要考慮結果(outcome)的嚴重程度

+ Confidence Interval
+ the adjusted OR for ischemic heart disease or
stroke associated with a 25% lower serum
homocysteine level was 0.89 with 95% CI
0.83–0.96.
+ In our caffeine study, the OR was 2.4 (adjusted
for age and smoking) with 95% CI 1.1–6.5.
Can this valid and important evidence about harm be applied to our
patient?
