Cohort Study Confounding. In cohort studies, who does or does not receive an intervention is determined by practice patterns, personal choice, or policy decisions. We consider how confounding occurs and how to address confounding using. Confounding, sometimes referred to as confounding bias, is mostly described as a ‘mixing’ or ‘blurring’ of effects.1 it occurs when an. Prospective cohort studies are conducted from the present time to the future, and thus they have an advantage of being accurate. Confounding is an important source of bias, but it is often misunderstood. Cohort studies are at serious risk of confounding bias and so adjusting or accounting for confounding factors is a priority in these studies. We show how this can solve situations of unmeasured confounding and endogeneity, and we illustrate it in a simulation study considering both a binary and a continuous exposure, and a continuous outcome. Whether confounding is a potential threat to the validity in each specific observational study depends on the study question and the data.
