Spanish term or phrase: casos-controles
"El estudio realizado de casos-controles incluyó un total de 125 pacientes..."

after reading more of the document, they seem to mean to refer to "study subjects (known to have the condition being studies) and control subjects", but this form of "casos-controles" seems like a major abbreviation. thanks for any help, i do not do much on statistics in academic studies...

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: Actually, the body of your answer is better than your answer. They are not 'control cases'; they are 'controls AND cases'. So the translation would be: 'The case-control study included a total of 125 patients' - just as you said later.
