Medical - Medical (general)
French term or phrase: cas-témoin
The word occurs in a discussion of the side effects of iboprufen. The sentence is: "Les études d'observation (cohortes et cas-témoins) fournissent des informations considérables sur la sécurité de l'ibuprofène." I think I understand the concept (individual cases as opposed to statistical study of a group) but am unsure what the English term of art is.

case control study (NOT FOR POINTS)


Explanation:
Niveau III : étude de cohorte prospective.

Étude de suivi ou de cohorte « cohort studies » or « follow-up studies » : Étude d'observation, le plus souvent prospective, dans laquelle un groupe de sujets, exposé à des facteurs de risque d'une maladie ou à un traitement particulier, est suivi pendant une période déterminée et comparé à un groupe contrôle non exposé. Les sujets sont sélectionnés en fonction de l'exposition et non pas de l'issue [7].

Niveau IV : étude de cohorte rétrospective (historique), étude cas-témoin.

Étude de cas-témoins « case control studies » : Étude d'observation rétrospective dans laquelle les caractéristiques des malades (les cas) sont comparées à celles de sujets indemnes de la maladie (les témoins). Les sujets sont sélectionnés en fonction de l'issue [7].
