Administrative health records (AHRs) and electronic medical records (EMRs) are two key sources of population-based data for disease surveillance, but misclassification errors in the data can bias disease estimates. Methods that combine information from error-prone data sources can build on the strengths of AHRs and EMRs. We compared bias and error for four data-combining methods and applied them t

Missing data are unavoidable in epidemiological research, potentially leading to bias and loss of precision. Multiple imputation (MI) is widely advocated as an improvement over complete case analysis (CCA). However, contrary to widespread belief, CCA is preferable to MI in some situations.

The use of oral anticoagulants is rarer in children than adults, but studies indicate that their paediatric use is increasing. Warfarin has been used in children, at the discretion of the treating physician, but both the number of children and the data on its use are limited New publication in Acta Paediatr.Read more here

Because of the potential mutagenic effects of chemo- and radiotherapy, there is concern regarding increased risk of congenital malformations (CMs) among children of fathers with cancer. Previous register studies indicate increased CM risk among children conceived after paternal cancer but lack data on oncological treatment. Increased CM risk was recently reported in children born before paternal c

Etikprövningsmyndigheten lämnar nu det ärendehanteringssystem som utvecklats i Prisma för etikprövningar. Anledningen är att det inte ger det stöd som var avsikten. Nu upphandlas istället ett nytt system och ambitionen är att det nya ska finnas på plats under 2020. Tills dess kommer myndigheten använda en övergångslösning för att hantera etikprövningar. Prisma stängs för etikansökningar den 27 sep

Findings indicate that a very high percentage of patients coded with an MS diagnosis in the Swedish NPR actually have MS, and supports the use of the NPR as a viable source to identify individuals with an MS diagnosis for population-based research. Read more here.

Participation in epidemiologic studies is steadily declining, which may result in selection bias. It is therefore an ongoing challenge to clarify the determinants of participation to judge possible selection effects and to derive measures to minimise that bias. We evaluated the potential for selection bias in a recent population-based cohort study with low baseline participation and investigated r

Cerebral microbleeds (CMB) on MRI are frequent in healthy aging individuals but precede ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and dementia. Different etiologies have been suggested for nonlobar CMB, which have a stronger connection to hypertension (HT) than do lobar CMB. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of CMB and the association between nonlobar/lobar CMB and different blood pressure (BP)

In their simulation study, Choi et al. compared different methods for handling missing covariate data in the context of propensity score analysis. This study addressed an important question on how propensity score matching and weighting perform coupled with different methods handing missing data when a treatment effect is homogenous or heterogeneous.

In thinking of the history of epidemiology, the map usually comes to mind before the calendar or the clock. During the nineteenth century, the study of the pattern and distribution of disease commonly suggested a terrain, a spatial ordering, that might align with environmental hazards, or later, with bacteriological threats.

The 1918 influenza pandemic had not only a massive instant death toll but also lasting effects on its survivors. Several studies have shown that children born in 1919, and thus exposed to the H1N1 virus in utero, experienced worse health and socioeconomic outcomes in older ages than surrounding birth cohorts.
