What are the Causes of Selection Bias in Histology?
Several factors can cause selection bias in histology:
Sampling Method: Non-random sampling can lead to biased results. For example, selecting only easily accessible tissue samples rather than a randomized selection can skew results. Patient Demographics: Focusing on specific demographics, such as age, gender, or ethnicity, without considering a diverse population can introduce bias. Condition of Tissue: Only selecting tissues with visible abnormalities can misrepresent the general characteristics of tissue.
