CODING MANUAL FOR CASE-CONTROL STUDIES
SELECTION
1) Is the Case Definition Adequate?
a) Requires some independent validation (e.g. >1 person/record/time/process to
extract information, or reference to primary record source such as x-rays or
medical/hospital records)
b) Record linkage (e.g. ICD codes in database) or self-report with no reference to
primary record
c) No description
2) Representativeness of the Cases
a) All eligible cases with outcome of interest over a defined period of time, all cases
in a defined catchment area, all cases in a defined hospital or clinic, group of
hospitals, health maintenance organisation, or an appropriate sample of those
cases (e.g. random sample)
b) Not satisfying requirements in part (a), or not stated.
3) Selection of Controls
This item assesses whether the control series used in the study is derived from the
same population as the cases and essentially would have been cases had the outcome
been present.
a) Community controls (i.e. same community as cases and would be cases if had
outcome)
b) Hospital controls, within same community as cases (i.e. not another city) but
derived from a hospitalised population
c) No description
4) Definition of Controls
a) If cases are first occurrence of outcome, then it must explicitly state that controls
have no history of this outcome. If cases have new (not necessarily first)
occurrence of outcome, then controls with previous occurrences of outcome of
interest should not be excluded.
b) No mention of history of outcome
COMPARABILITY
1) Comparability of Cases and Controls on the Basis of the Design or Analysis
A maximum of 2 stars can be allotted in this category
Either cases and controls must be matched in the design and/or confounders must be
adjusted for in the analysis. Statements of no differences between groups or that
differences were not statistically significant are not sufficient for establishing
comparability. Note: If the odds ratio for the exposure of interest is adjusted for the
confounders listed, then the groups will be considered to be comparable on each
variable used in the adjustment.
There may be multiple ratings for this item for different categories of exposure (e.g.
ever vs. never, current vs. previous or never)
Age = , Other controlled factors =
EXPOSURE

CODING MANUAL FOR COHORT STUDIES
SELECTION
1) Representativeness of the Exposed Cohort
Item is assessing the representativeness of exposed individuals in the community, not
the representativeness of the sample of women from some general population. For
example, subjects derived from groups likely to contain middle class, better educated,
health oriented women are likely to be representative of postmenopausal estrogen
users while they are not representative of all women (e.g. members of a health
maintenance organisation (HMO) will be a representative sample of estrogen users.
While the HMO may have an under-representation of ethnic groups, the poor, and
poorly educated, these excluded groups are not the predominant users users of
estrogen).

2) Selection of the Non-Exposed Cohort
Allocation of stars as per rating sheet
3) Ascertainment of Exposure
Allocation of stars as per rating sheet
4) Demonstration That Outcome of Interest Was Not Present at Start of Study
In the case of mortality studies, outcome of interest is still the presence of a disease/
incident, rather than death. That is to say that a statement of no history of disease or
incident earns a star.
COMPARABILITY
1) Comparability of Cohorts on the Basis of the Design or Analysis
A maximum of 2 stars can be allotted in this category
Either exposed and non-exposed individuals must be matched in the design and/or
confounders must be adjusted for in the analysis. Statements of no differences
between groups or that differences were not statistically significant are not sufficient
for establishing comparability. Note: If the relative risk for the exposure of interest is
adjusted for the confounders listed, then the groups will be considered to be
comparable on each variable used in the adjustment.
There may be multiple ratings for this item for different categories of exposure (e.g.
ever vs. never, current vs. previous or never)
Age = , Other controlled factors =
OUTCOME
1) Assessment of Outcome
For some outcomes (e.g. fractured hip), reference to the medical record is sufficient to
satisfy the requirement for confirmation of the fracture. This would not be adequate
for vertebral fracture outcomes where reference to x-rays would be required.
a) Independent or blind assessment stated in the paper, or confirmation of the
outcome by reference to secure records (x-rays, medical records, etc.)
b) Record linkage (e.g. identified through ICD codes on database records)
c) Self-report (i.e. no reference to original medical records or x-rays to confirm the
outcome)
d) No description.
2) Was Follow-Up Long Enough for Outcomes to Occur
An acceptable length of time should be decided before quality assessment begins (e.g.
5 yrs. for exposure to breast implants)
3) Adequacy of Follow Up of Cohorts
This item assesses the follow-up of the exposed and non-exposed cohorts to ensure
that losses are not related to either the exposure or the outcome.
