Published 17 May 2022 Registries are one way to provide longitudinal, observational data, giving rise to a range of possibilities in terms of audit and research.

Published 19 May 2022 Epidemiologists commonly use an adjusted hazard ratio or incidence density ratio, or a standardized mortality ratio, to measure a difference in all-cause mortality rates. They seldom translate it into an age-, time-, or probability-based measure that would be easier to communicate and to relate to. Several articles have shown how to translate from a standardized mortality rat

Published 20 May 2022 Results of randomized trials and observational studies can be difficult to communicate. Results are often presented as risk or survival functions stratified by the treatment or exposure (1, 2). However, a contrast between the stratified risk functions is often of primary interest. Here we propose a “twister” plot to visualize contrasts in risk over the duration of a study. Th

Published 23 May 2022 Psychosocial constructs can only be assessed indirectly, and measures are typically formed by a combination of indicators that are thought to relate to the construct.

Published 24 May 2022 Mendelian randomization (MR) is often used to estimate effects of time-varying exposures on health outcomes using observational data. However, MR studies typically use a single measurement of exposure and apply conventional instrumental variable (IV) methods designed to handle time-fixed exposures. As such, MR effect estimates for time-varying exposures are often biased, and

Published 25 May 2022 Lifetime risk measures the cumulative risk for developing a disease over one’s lifespan. Modeling the lifetime risk must account for left truncation, the competing risk of death, and inference at a fixed age. In addition, statistical methods to predict the lifetime risk should account for covariate-outcome associations that change with age. In this paper, we review and compar
