Resumo: | Backgraund and objectives:Although case control studies have numerous advantages, they are vulnerable to biases that can mask the true results of the study and therefore should be interpreted with caution.The objective of this article is to critically approach, through a literature review, the biases that can affect this type of study design and the possible strategies to overcome those biases.Contents:The most well-known biases, present in the delineation of case control studies, were those related to selection and measurement. Conclusion: However, although this type of study is subject to possible errors, preventative measures put in place during the planning of case control studies and even during and after its execution can help guarantee scientific rigor.This review of the literature can serve as an important instrument for the development and interpretation of case-control studies. |

O objetivo deste artigo é realizar criticamente esta abordagem, através de uma revisão da literatura, os erros que podem afetar este tipo de desenho de estudo e as possíveis estratégias para superar esses erros. Resultados e Discussão: Os erros mais conhecidos, presentes no delineamento de estudos caso-controle, foram os relacionados com a seleção e medição. Conclusão: No entanto, embora este tipo de estudo esteja sujeito a possíveis erros, as medidas preventivas postas em prática durante o planejamento de estudos caso-controle e até mesmo durante e após a sua execução podem ajudar a garantir o rigor científico. Esta revisão da literatura pode servir como um instrumento importante para o desenvolvimento e interpretação de estudos de caso-controle.Unisc2016-04-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/637010.17058/reci.v6i2.6370Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção; Vol. 6 No. 2 (2016); 92-96Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção; v. 6 n. 2 (2016); 92-962238-3360reponame:Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecçãoinstname:Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)instacron:UNISCenghttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/6370/4742Copyright (c) 2016 Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecçãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouza, Fernanda de OliveiraMiranda, Samilly SilvaValente, Alessandra Laís Pinhode Araújo, Tânia MariaSmolen, Jenny Rose2019-01-21T12:54:07Zoai:ojs.online.unisc.br:article/6370Revistahttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/indexONGhttp://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/oai||liapossuelo@unisc.br|| julia.kern@hotmail.com||reci.unisc@gmail.com2238-33602238-3360opendoar:2019-01-21T12:54:07Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção - Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)false |
