Larger, longer and more expensive
Prone to certain types of bias
Changes in exposure or medical practice can be missed
Not practical for rare outcomes
it is prospective cohort study
A panel study involves repeatedly collecting data from the same individuals over time to study changes within the same group. A cohort study follows a group of individuals who share a common characteristic or experience over time to see how their outcomes differ. The key difference is that in a panel study, the same individuals are followed over time, while in a cohort study, different individuals may be added to the study group over time.
A longitudinal cohort study involves studying a specific group of people over an extended period of time.
