português term

pesquisadores “cegos” ao status de caso

português para inglês Adm./Finanças Medicina (geral) estatística
Uma das principais limitações do nosso estudo foi o fato do pesquisador ter conhecimento se aquele indivíduo era do grupo caso ou controle, uma vez que não era possível obter informação a partir de revisão de registros criados antes de a doença ter sido diagnosticada por pesquisadores “cegos” ao status de caso ou controle da pessoa.

Discussion

Nick Taylor Nov 17, 2014:
Google "researchers who were blind" ...first interviewed by clinicians (who were aware of the diagnosis, as is normal in clinical practice), and then by researchers who were blind to the diagnosis.
Georgia Morg (X) Nov 17, 2014:
not "ignore" I am pretty sure this means that the researchers are DELIBERATELY kept in the dark.

researchers “blinded” to the case status

The text probably is about a double-blind case-control study.
The researchers (who diagnosed the disease) were blinded to the status of the case or the control subject.

researchers

To complete the sentence, you need to include "ou controle da pessoa". It will read: "researchers who are "blind" to whether a subject is in the experimental group or control group." For the distinction, see, for example, http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_cont...

Something went wrong with the answer form. What I posted was "researchers who are 'blind' to whether a subject is in the experimental group."
