The concepts of cause
something that brings about an effect or a result
cq. etiology, pathogenesis, or mechanisms
guiding for: prevention, diagnosis, & treatment
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
3/33
Evidence that an association is cause & effect:
1. Temporality : cause precedes effect
2. Strength : large relative risk/ Odd ratio
3. Dose-response : larger exposure to cause associated
with higher rates of disease4. Reversibility : reduction in exposure associated
with lower rates of disease
5. Consistency : repeatedly observed by different
persons, places, circumstances &
times
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
4/33
6. Biologic plausibility : makes sense, according to
biologic knowledge of the
time
7. Specificity : one cause leads to one effect
8.Analogy : cause-effect relationship
already established for a similar
exposure/ disease

Types of evidence for cause-effect relationship:

Cohort study StrengthCase control study Reversibility

INTRODUCTION
klinisi menjumpai pasien terpapar:
- intervensi medis/ medical intervention- environtmental agent
misal:
- apakah risiko abortus meningkat pada pekerja video
display terminals ?
- apakah vasectomi meningkatkan risiko Ca prostat ?
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
8/33
jawaban klinisi harus mengevaluasi:
- validitas data
- kekuatan hubungan antara kausa dan outcome
- relevansi terhadap pasien

compared ?

What are the resul ?
How strong is the association between exposure and outcoma ?
How precise is the estimate risk ?
Will the results help me in caring for my patients ?

1. RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL (RCT)
experimental murni pasien terbagi dengan cara sama ke tiap grup
causal agent/ no causal agent follow-up
outcome: positif/ negatif
kekuatan: similaritas antar grup: +
dengan design baik, menunjukkan hubungan pentingantara agentdan outcome
jarang dipakai

14/33
contoh: trial cardiac arrhytmia suppresion
hubungan antara obat anti aritmi:
- encainide
- flecainide mortalitas- maricizine
klinisi membatasi penggunaan obat tersebut

2. STUDI COHORT
bila tak fisibel/ tak etis untuk randomisasi identifikasi: exposed & non exposedterhadap causal agent
follow-up
kejadian outcome
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
16/33
contoh:
outcome perinatal pada anak dari pria terexposed
lead & larutan organik pada industri percetakan di
Norwegia:
- OT di kategorisasi terpapar terhadap 2 zat
- hasil: exposed group: 8 x terjadi partus pre term,tapi tak signifikan
perdarahan tractus gastrointestinal (tgi.) pada
penggunaan NSAID:- hasil: pada grup terexpose: 1,5 x non terexpose
per 1000 sampel
- jika menggunakan design RCT butuh 6.000 sampel
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
17/33
pada studi cohort:
- subyek terseleksi sendiri bisa tidak similar
- hubungan NSAID & perdarahan tgi. usia dihubungkan dengan exposure confounding
factorCF)
- jika CF tak terdistribusi rata teknik statistik
- kadang-kadang imbalance tersebut bedaprognostic outcome
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
18/33
3. STUDI KONTROL KASUS (CCS)
bila outcome sangat jarang, studi cohort tak fisibel
CCS lebih fisibel:- identifikasi kasus (misal: penyakit, hospitalisasi, kematian
- pilih kontrol: bukan outcome tetapi faktor-faktor yang simi-
lar dengan outcome, misal: - umur
- sex
- kondisi medis- teliti secara retrospektif: frekuensi relatif exposure terhadap
faktor kausa pada kasus dan kontrol (pembanding)
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
19/33
contoh:
Hubungan o.c. dietilbestrol pada wanita hamil & adeno-
karsinoma anak wanita beberapa tahun kemudian
Prospektif: butuh > 20 tahun & ratusan ribu sampel
CCS:
- 2 grup wanita muda:
- kasus adenokarsinoma vagina (n= 8)- kontrol (n= 32)
- telusuri exposure rate terhadap obat
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
20/33
4. CASE SERIES & CASE REPORT
tanpa grup pembanding/kontrol
tak sesuai sebagai primary guide
Kesimpulan:
- RCT terbaik untuk causation- terpenting: populasi kontrol yang sesuai
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
21/33
Were the exposures & outcomes measured inthe same way in the group being compared ?
- pada CCs exposure: terpenting
- blinding subyek & interviewer: minimisasi bias
- kesempatan exposure: sama
- pada RCT & Cohort, outcome: terpenting
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
22/33
Was follow-up sufficiently long & complete ?
Follow-up harus adekuat
Follow-up:
- hilang : validitas hasil menurun
- makin lama : sampel DO makin besar

SECONDARY GUIDE
Is the temporal relationship correct ?
Exposure terhadap faktor kausal mendahului outcome
contoh:
- hubungan kasus bunuh diri dan obat antidepresi:
- bunuh diri pasca pemakaian obat ?- menggunakan obat oleh karena gejala psikis
memburuk ?
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
24/33
Is there a dose response gradient ?
Kuantitas/durasi exposure terhadap kausal tinggi:
risiko outcome meningkat
contoh:
- risiko kematian Ca paru pria perokok meningkat
- 50% : 14 batang/hari
- 132%: 15-24 batang/hari
- 220%: 25 batang/hari
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
25/33
What are the result ?
How strong is the association between
exposure & outcome ?
1. Risiko relatif (: cohort study):
- risiko/insidensi efek pada grup exposed dibagirisiko efek dalam grup non exposed
- nilai RR > 1: peningkatan risiko
- nilai RR < 1: penurunan risiko
contoh: 23/289 pria hipertensi (HT) meninggal
dibanding 3/185 non HT
RR pria HT: 4,9 dibanding non HT
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
26/33
2. Odds ratio (OR, pada CCS)
- odds kasus grup exposed dibagiodds kontrol/ non exposed
- bila outcome jarang, RR=OR
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
27/33
How precise is the estimate of the risk ?
- evaluasi ketepatan estimasi: confidence interval
- berdasar artikel-artikel tentang risiko
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
28/33
What are the implications for my practice ?
Are the results applicable to my practice ?
Jika hasil valid extrapolasi: pasien/bidang kita Pasien/sampel kita similar ?
Ada beda penting ?
Contoh: - peningkatan Ca uteri pada pemakai hormonestrogen pasca menstruasi
8/22/2019 1b. CA. Causation
29/33
What is the magnitude of the risk ?
RR atau OR: efek terjadi > atau
