- 5. Observational vs interventional (experimental) studies Similarity: both studyrelation between risk factor / exposure and outcome Observational studies: exposure is not assigned by investigators Interventional studies: exposure is assigned by investigators
- 6. Case Report and case series Discussesonly 1 patient case with a rare finding or outcome or atypical case Low evidence No generalization / inference No statistics involved Case report example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32923205/ Case series example: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/june_5.htm
- 7. Analytical observational studies No intervention Stronger evidencelevel than case reports and series Analysis using statistics Measures relation between exposure / risk factor and outcome
- 8. Analytical observational studies Cross-sectional / survey studies(one point of time) Case control study (retrospective) Cohort (prospective or retrospective)

Non parametric tests Independent Paired Continuous T test (2 groups) ANOVA (> 2 groups) Linear correlation Linear regression Paired T test Repeated measures anova GEE model Wilcoxon signed rank test Wilcoxon rank sum test Kruskal wallis test Spearman rank correlation coefficient Binary or categorical Risk difference or relative risk Chi square test Logistic regression Mcnemar’s test Conditional logistic regression Fischer’s exact test Mcnemar’s exact test Counts Rate ratio Poisson regression GEE model Negative binomial regression Time to event Rate ratio Kaplan Meier statistics Cox regression Counting process model Time varying effects
