This could have been a case of polymedication, but I doubt it since it is an 82-year-old woman. I'm not sure if they are antibiotics, but benzodiazepines and anticholinergic drugs can cause amnesia. Or, it is a possibility her primary care doctor gave her the wrong dosage of the antibiotics, causing side effects, one of them possibly being amnesia.

Alika [10]

Answer:

A retrospective cohort study

Explanation:

A retrospective cohort study is a type of observational epidemiologic study where the risk of disease is retrospectively (i.e., posteriorly) compared between an exposed group versus a non-exposed group. In a similar way to prospective cohort studies, a retrospective cohort study also categorizes individuals under study depending on if they were exposed or not to the factor of interest. However, in this type of experimental design, the study begins at a point in time after both exposure and outcome have already occurred. Thus, a retrospective study is conceived after some individuals have already developed the outcome (e.g., disease/disorder) of interest.
