摘要

系统综述的优劣在很大程度上取决于其评估证据的质量。观察性研究（包括队列研究和病例系列研究）在证据等级中的位置较低，队列研究通常高于病例系列研究。这些研究设计之间往往存在细微差别，可能会导致分类错误，并影响从这些数据中得出的建议的力度。本手稿提供了一种划分队列研究与病例系列研究之间差异的方法，并提供了这些微妙之处的临床实例。通过提供区分队列研究和病例系列研究的简单方法，本手稿旨在为进行系统综述的研究人员提供帮助。

Correctly classifying cohort studies versus case series in systematic reviews and implications for evidence-based decision making

The strength of a systematic review hinges in large part on the quality of evidence it appraises. Observational studies, including cohort studies and case series, are positioned lower on the hierarchy of evidence, with cohort studies typically higher than case series. The often subtle differences between these study designs may lead to misclassification and can impact the strength of recommendations derived from such data. This manuscript offers an approach to delineate the differences between cohort studies and case series and provides clinical examples of these subtleties. By providing a simple approach for distinguishing cohort studies from case series, this manuscript seeks to assist researchers performing systematic reviews.
