Comments on a recent case-control study of malignant mesothelioma of the pericardium and the tunica vaginalis testis
Any case–control study can be viewed as being nested within a conceptual cohort, with controls being sampled from the at-risk cohort as cases arise over time
For Marinaccio et al (1) this would mean that, as cases were registered over the study period, each would be matched to an individual control or set of controls of the same gender, age, and region of the country
Summary
Comments on a recent case-control study of malignant mesothelioma of the pericardium and the tunica vaginalis testis. For Marinaccio et al (1) this would mean that, as cases were registered over the study period, each would be matched to an individual control or set of controls of the same gender, age, and region of the country (since asbestos exposure varies by time and region [4]).
