요약	The prospective case-crossover design is an observational epidemiological study in which each case serves as their own control. Unlike the retrospective variant, exposures are recorded in real time as participants are followed forward, eliminating recall bias. It is particularly suited to investigating transient environmental or behavioral triggers of acute events such as myocardial infarction, asthma attacks, or road-traffic injuries.	A case-control study is a retrospective observational design in which individuals who have developed a disease or outcome of interest (cases) are compared with individuals who have not (controls) to determine whether prior exposure to a putative risk factor differs between the two groups. The primary measure of association is the odds ratio, which approximates the relative risk when the outcome is rare. Case-control studies are especially efficient for investigating rare diseases and generating etiological hypotheses.
