    When multiple matched pairs share identical criteria in case-control studies, stratified analysis is preferred over paired analysis for accurate odds ratio estimation, preventing potential misleading inferences.

    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Biostatistics

    Background:

    • Matched-pairs case-control studies are common in epidemiology.
    • Situations with identical matching criteria across multiple pairs present analytical challenges.
    • Accurate odds ratio estimation is crucial for valid epidemiological inferences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate different analytical approaches for odds ratio estimation in matched-pairs case-control studies with identical matching criteria.
    • To compare the performance of standard matched-pairs analysis versus stratified analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • The study considered a 1:1 matched-pairs case-control design.
    • Analytical approaches included standard matched-pairs analysis and stratified analysis (conditional maximum likelihood or Mantel-Haenszel estimates).
    • Theoretical considerations and simulation results were used for comparison.

    Main Results:

    • Standard matched-pairs analysis can yield misleading inferences due to potential extreme discordant pairs.
    • Stratified analysis, while computationally intensive, provides more reliable odds ratio estimates.
    • On average, matched-pairs analysis performs similarly to stratified analysis, but occasional poor performance is a concern.

    Conclusions:

    • Stratified analysis is the recommended approach for matched-pairs case-control studies with identical matching criteria.
    • Paired analysis may lead to inaccurate results in specific scenarios.
    • Prioritizing accurate inference supports the use of stratified analysis despite increased computational demands.
