Published 13 June 2022 Sibling comparison studies have the attractive feature of being able to control for unmeasured confounding by factors that are shared within families. However, there is sometimes a concern that these studies may have poor generalizability (external validity) due to the implicit restriction to families that are covariate-discordant, i.e., those families where at least two sib

Published 14 June 2022 Collinearity can be a problem in regression models. When examining the effects of an exposure at different time points, constrained distributed lag models can alleviate some of the problems caused by collinearity. Still, some consequences of collinearity may remain and they are often unexplored. We aimed to illustrate the effects of collinearity in the context of distributed

Published 16 June 2022 Methods for calculating health indicators profoundly influence understanding of and action on population health and inequities. Age-standardization can be useful and is commonly applied to account for differences in age structures when comparing health indicators across groups. Age-standardized rates have well-acknowledged limitations, including that they are relative indice

Published 17 June 2022 Inverse probability weights are increasingly used in epidemiological analysis, and estimation and application of weights to address a single bias are well discussed in the literature. Weights to address multiple biases simultaneously (i.e. a combination of weights) have almost exclusively been discussed related to marginal structural models in longitudinal settings where tre

Published 20 June 2022 When research questions require the use of precious samples, expensive assays or equipment, or labor-intensive data collection or analysis, nested case–control or case–cohort sampling of observational cohort study participants can often reduce costs.

Published 21 June 2022 Quantifying the impact of natural disasters or epidemics is critical for guiding policy decisions and interventions. When the effects of an event are long-lasting and difficult to detect in the short term, the accumulated effects can be devastating. Mortality is one of the most reliably measured health outcomes, partly due to its unambiguous definition. As a result, excess m
