Can a cohort study have no control groups?
It is still a cohort according to the original cohort study definition. But this is not the cohort you have in mind. You can’t compute any RR or check for risk factors. The results have to be presented just like a cross sectional study.
Can a clinical series study have no control groups?
I had a similar study, but I named it as a ” case series ” (= “clinical series”), which is defined as evaluating a cohort (without a control group) over time. I just wanted to know if a clinical series is a cohort? Can I cite my study as cohort? Thanks a lot in advance. I asked a couple of experts and the answer is a “yes”. Hi!
How are cohort studies different from experimental studies?
Note that this differs from an experimental study because, in a cohort study, the investigator observes rather than determines the participants’ exposure status. After a period of time, the investigator compares the disease rate in the exposed group with the disease rate in the unexposed group.
How are comparison groups defined in a study?
Comparison groups can be defined at the beginning or created later using data from the study (e.g., age group, smokers/non-smokers, amount of a specific food group consumed). Prospective cohort studies enroll individuals and then collect data at many intervals.
