Observational studies in the era of evidence based medicine: Short review on their relevance, taxonomy and designs

  • Autores: Fronteira I
  • Ano de Publicação: 2013
  • Journal: Acta Médica Portuguesa
  • Link: http://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/3975

We further analyze the value of observational studies in light of experimental studies. We present a taxonomy for observational studies based on units of observation and measurement (cross-sectional or longitudinal). We distinguish between descriptive studies and analytical studies.

Unmatched Case-Control Study on Late Presentation of HIV Infection in Santiago, Cape Verde (2004–2011)

  • Autores: Augusto GF, Fronteira I, Martins MRO, Moreira A
  • Ano de Publicação: 2016
  • Journal: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
  • Link: http://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/13/3/320

Access to free antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Sub-Saharan Africa has been steadily increasing over the past decade. However, the success of large-scale ART programmes depends on timely diagnosis and early initiation of HIV care. This study characterizes late presenters to HIV care in Santiago (Cape Verde) between 2004 and 2011, and identifies factors associated with late presentation for care. We defined late presentation as persons presenting to HIV care with a CD4 count below 350 cells/mm3.
