Unmeasured confounding is a common threat to the validity of observational studies. In practice, confounding bias may arise from both confounders that are completely unmeasured and from confounders that are measured with error.

We report the current status of CKD registries in Europe in relation to their data collection on patients not on KRT so that in the future we may investigate to what extent also their data may be used for similar purposes, like collaborative research on CKD trajectories and patient outcomes.

General population-based cohort studies provide solid evidence on mass Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication effects. Self-reported questionnaires are occasionally used in such studies to ascertain the HP eradication history. However, reports on the reliability of these questionnaires are lacking.

A cardiovascular mortality algorithm applied to administrative health records had moderate validity when compared to vital statistics data. Substantial variation existed across study sites representing different geographic locations and two healthcare systems. These variations may reflect different diagnostic coding practices and healthcare utilization patterns. Read the paper at https://bmchealth
