History of bias

Abstract

Les épidémiologistes ont toujours été conscients de l'importance de contrôler les distorsions, bien que la définition ellemême du biais ait changé avec le temps. Par le passé, c'était la vulnérabilité aux biais des différents plans d'études qui était au centre de la discussion, ainsi que les effets de confusion non contrôlés (l'effet de confusion en soi est clairement à distinguer du biais, en tant que problème de mélange d'effets causaux dus à la distribution non aléatoire des facteurs de risque dans la population étudiée). En particulier, il y a eu une polémique autour de certains aspects du plan d'étude cas-témoins. La formulation d'une “typologie des biais” au cours des années 1970 a permis de définir certaines des plus importantes sources de distorsion dans le plan, l'analyse et l'interprétation des études épidémiologiques. La période suivante, jusqu'à aujourd'hui, a été caractérisée par des définitions plus formelles et systématiques des biais. Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag 2002
