Invited commentary When case-control studies came of age

In his 1976 paper "Estimability and Estimation in Case-Referent Studies" (Am J Epidemiol. 1976; 103(2): 226-235), Miettinen weaved together a patchwork of new ideas into a coherent view of case-control studies. His article spurred theoretical development in epidemiologic methods and became a platform for teaching about some key concepts in epidemiologic study design.
