Question 1
In a cohort study investigating the association between occupational pesticide exposure and neurodegenerative disease, the crude relative risk is 2.8. When stratified by age (=50 years), the relative risk is 1.4 in the younger group and 1.4 in the older group. Which of the following best explains this phenomenon?
Correct Answer:
Age acts as a confounder in this association.
Question 2
A hospital-based case-control study explores the association between chronic coffee consumption and peptic ulcer disease. Patients admitted for gastrointestinal bleeding are chosen as cases, while patients admitted for orthopedic trauma serve as controls. The observed odds ratio is distorted because coffee consumption and peptic ulcers both increase the probability of hospital admission. What specific epidemiological bias is demonstrated?
Correct Answer:
Berkson's bias (admission rate bias)
Question 3
In an observational cohort study evaluating survival among patients with heart failure who receive implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), person-time is counted from the time of diagnosis, but ICD implantation occurs at variable intervals months later. Counting the pre-implantation observation time as 'exposed' person-time would introduce which methodological error?
Correct Answer:
Immortal time bias
Question 4
In directed acyclic graph (DAG) causal methodology, conditioning (adjusting or stratifying) on a variable that is independently caused by both the exposure and the outcome results in which of the following biases?
Correct Answer:
Collider stratification bias
Question 5
During a point-source gastroenteritis outbreak following a communal wedding dinner attended by 500 guests, 120 guests develop acute watery diarrhea within 36 hours. What is the overall attack rate in this cohort?
