Un autre type de biais de sélection qui peut être intégré dans les études observationnelles est le biais de causalité inversée, également appelé biais protopathique. Celui-ci peut intervenir lorsque le statut d’exposition est influencé par la survenue imminente d’un événement. Il est alors incorrect d’attribuer l'événement observé au traitement alors que celui-ci a été influencé par les premiers symptômes de cet événement. 2, record 1, French, - biais%20de%20causalit%C3%A9%20invers%C3%A9e
