适应症混杂是指当一个变量是非暴露人群中疾病的风险因素，并且与病例来源人群中关注的暴露相关时使用的术语，而不是暴露和疾病之间因果途径的中间步骤。然而，在文献中，术语适应症混杂并不总是一致使用。作者发现了三种不同的情况，其中该术语已被应用或可能已被使用但未被使用：因适应症而混淆为原发性偏倚，因严重程度而混淆，或作为一种形式的选择偏倚。将适应症混淆一词的使用限制在形成适应症的疾病作为混杂因素（无论其严重程度如何）的情况下可能是有帮助的，如果该疾病的严重程度作为混杂因素，则应用严重程度混淆一词。原病偏倚和选择偏倚不应与这些术语混淆。使用适当的术语最终将改善研究人员之间的沟通，并有助于他们的论文的清晰度。
Confounding by indication is a term used when a variable is a risk factor for a disease among nonexposed persons and is associated with the exposure of interest in the population from which the cases derive, without being an intermediate step in the causal pathway between the exposure and the disease. However, in the literature, the term confounding by indication is not always used consistently. The authors found three different situations in which the term has been applied or might have been used but was not: confounding by indication as protopathic bias, as confounding by severity, or as a form of selection bias. It might be helpful to limit use of the term confounding by indication to the situation in which the disease that forms the indication acts as a confounder irrespective of its severity and to apply the term confounding by severity if the severity of this disease acts as a confounder. Protopathic bias and selection bias should not be confused with these terms. The use of appropriate terms ultimately will improve communication among researchers and contribute to the clarity of their papers.
