Methodological issues of confounding in analytical epidemiologic studies
Background: Confounding can be thought of as mixing the effect of exposure on the risk of disease with a third factor which distorts the measure of association such as risk ratio or odds ratio. This bias arises because of complex functional relationship of confounder with both exposure and disease (outcome). In this article, we provided a conceptual framework review of confounding issues in epi...

This article discusses the importance, definition, and types of confounders in epidemiology. Methods to identify and address confounding are discussed, as well as their strengths and limitations. The article also describes the difference among confounders, mediators, and effect modifiers.
متن کاملConfounding, Homogeneity and Collapsibility for Causal Effects in Epidemiologic Studies
Detection of confounding and confounders is important for observational studies, and especially so for epidemiologic studies. Miettinen and Cook (1981) derived two criteria for detecting confounders. Using a model, Wickramaratne and Holford (1987) proved that the two criteria are necessary but not sufficient conditions for confounders. We take uniform nonconfounding to mean there is no confound...
