1924年夏天,密歇根州弗林特爆发了猩红热。由于无法将其追溯到常见的病因,尤其是新鲜牛奶,密歇根州卫生部采用了一种新的方法来解开谜团:将116例猩红热病例与117名“对照组”进行了比较,这些“对照组”选自隔离病例的邻居和市卫生中心的患者,他们曾因与猩红热无关的疾病接受过治疗。特别的罪魁祸首是冰淇淋,在病例组中,经常/偶尔/不消费的流行率分别为60%,34%和6%,而在对照组中,分别为24%,51%和25%。1925年的报告写道:“通过对健康人的病例史和对照史进行详细的流行病学调查,证实了早期的怀疑,并确定了流行病是通过冰淇淋传播的事实”(Am J Hyg. 1925;5(5):669-681)。这项被遗忘的流行病学研究是迄今为止使用病例对照设计的最古老的研究。病例对照研究设计可能是同时构思的,但在英国(珍妮特·莱恩-克莱彭1926年关于乳腺癌决定因素的报告)和美国,是独立的,目的也不同。
In the summer of 1924, an outbreak of scarlet fever occurred in Flint, Michigan. Unable to trace it to the usual causes, particularly fresh milk, the Michigan Department of Health used a novel approach to disentangle the enigma: The 116 cases of scarlet fever were compared with 117 “controls” selected from neighbors of the quarantined cases and from patients at the City Health Center who had been treated for ailments unrelated to scarlet fever. The extraordinary culprit was ice cream, which had a frequent/occasional/none consumption prevalence of 60%, 34%, and 6% among the cases and 24%, 51%, and 25% among the controls, respectively. The 1925 report reads, “Detailed epidemiological investigation, by means of case histories and control histories on well persons, confirmed early suspicions and established the fact that the epidemic was spread by ice cream” (Am J Hyg.1925;5(5):669–681). This forgotten epidemiologic study is the oldest study using the case-control design to have been resurrected thus far. The case-control study design may have been conceived simultaneously, but independently and for different purposes, in England (Janet Lane-Claypon's 1926 report on the determinants of breast cancer) and the United States.
