==Case-cohort study==
A case-cohort study is a design in which cases and controls are drawn from within a prospective study. All cases who developed the outcome of interest during the follow-up are selected and compared with a subgrouprandom sample of the non-cohort. This randomly selected control sample could, by chance, include some cases. Exposure is defined prior to disease development based on data collected at baseline or on assays conducted in biological samples collected at baseline.
