Published 27 May 2019 It has been argued that epidemiology is currently going through a methodologic revolution involving the “causal inference” movement.1,2 This proposes that observational studies should mimic key aspects of randomized trials, because this allows them to be rooted in counterfactual reasoning, which is said to formalize the natural way that humans think about causality. These new

Published 28 May 2019 Childhood cancer survivors treated before 1992, when blood donor screening for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was introduced, are at risk of transfusion-transmitted HCV infection. A national HCV screening campaign targeting blood transfusion recipients was launched in Sweden in 2007-2010. New publication in Acta OncolRead more here.
Published 29 May 2019 Given the increasing prevalence of cancer, it is vital to systematically collect data in order to monitor disease trends and quality of cancer care. For this purpose, clinical cancer registries have been developed in some countries. These registers are intended to be used as a basis for quality assurance and quality improvement, but they also constitute a rich resource of rea
Published 31 May 2019 The objective of the article was to analyse how Finnish and Swedish speakers in Finland differ in health and labour market outcomes after sickness absence. Apart from many similarities, these two population groups differ in life expectancy and union stability and are supposed to be culturally distinct. Our analyses, therefore, help to shed light on the interrelation between c

Published 5 June 2019 Precision medicine is the envisioned future model of health care in which treatments and care are tailored to the individual patient. The precision medicine slogan “One size does not fit all” stems from the fact that heterogeneity in treatment effects is common. Precision medicine research aims to find the best treatment for each patient through a better understanding of the

Published 7 June 2019 Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival varies greatly between communities. The Utstein template was developed and promulgated to improve the comparability of OHCA outcome reports, but it has undergone limited empiric validation. We sought to assess how much of the variation in OHCA survival between emergency medical services (EMS) across the globe is explained by diff

Published 12 June 2019 Low back pain (LBP) is a ubiquitous, heterogeneous disorder that affects most people at some point in their lives. The efficient management of LBP remains elusive, with direct and indirect costs attributed to LBP surpassing many other common conditions.

Published 13 June 2019 Mediation analysis serves as a crucial tool to perform causal inferences on the relationship among an exposure, a mediator, and an outcome. Methods for statistical inference of the parameter estimates of the mediation effects are limited and need improvement, relying on Bayesian, bootstrapping or Delta methods.
