  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001691",
  "term": "Case cohort study",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A method of sampling from a large prospective cohort in which all individuals who develop a disease of interest (cases) are included for analysis. A comparison group is formed by taking a random sample, the subcohort, from the entire cohort at the beginning of the study, regardless of their future disease status. This design differs from a nested case-control study, where controls are selected at the time each case is diagnosed.",
