A method of sensitivity analysis previously proposed for cohort studies is extended for use in matched case-control studies with multiple controls, where slightly different derivations and calculations are required. Also discussed is a sensitivity analysis for case-control studies that have two distinct types of controls, say hospital and neighborhood controls, where the two types may be affected by different biases. For illustration, the method is applied to five case-control studies, including a study of herniated lumbar disc in which there are three types of cases, and a study of breast cancer with two types of controls.
