Causal modeling and inference rely on strong assumptions, one of which is conditional exchangeability. Uncontrolled confounding is often seen as if it is the most important threat to conditional exchangeability although collider-stratification bias or selection bias can be just as important New publicayion in Epidemiology.Read more here.

When epidemiologic studies are conducted in a subset of the population, selection bias can threaten the validity of causal inference. This bias can occur whether or not that selected population is the target population and can occur even in the absence of exposure–outcome confounding. New publication in Epidemiology.Read more here.

Multiple tests arise frequently in epidemiologic research. However, the issue of multiplicity adjustment is surrounded by confusion and controversy, and there is no uniform agreement on whether or when adjustment is warranted. In this paper we compare frequentist and Bayesian frameworks for multiple testing. New publication in European Journal of Epidemiology.Read more here.

Disease trajectories for chronic diseases can span over several decades, with several time-dependent factors affecting treatment decisions. Thus, there is a need for long-term predictions of disease trajectories to inform patients and healthcare professionals on the long-term outcomes and provide information on the need of future health care.

Smoking is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and causes exposure to cadmium, which is a pro-atherosclerotic metal. Cadmium exposure has also been shown to increase the risk of CVD, even after adjustment for smoking. Our hypothesis was that part of the risk of CVD in smokers may be mediated by cadmium exposure from tobacco smoke. We examined this hypothesis in a mediation analys

Indirectly standardized mortality ratios (SMR) are often used to compare patient outcomes between health care providers as indicators of quality of care. Observed differences in the outcomes raise the question of whether these could be causally attributable to earlier processes or outcomes in the pathway of care that the patients received. Such pathways can be naturally addressed in a causal media
