Consumption of red meat, genetic susceptibility, and risk of LADA and type 2 diabetes

Published 28 July 2020 Analyses were based on Swedish case–control data comprising incident cases of LADA (n = 465) and T2D (n = 1528) with matched, population-based controls (n = 1789; n = 1553 in genetic analyses). Multivariable-adjusted ORs in relation to self-reported processed and unprocessed red meat intake were estimated by conditional logistic regression models. Attributable proportion (AP

Familial risk of breast cancer by dynamic, accumulative, and static definitions of family history

Published 29 July 2020 The authors assessed the effect of incorporating the timing of cancer diagnosis events into the assessment of familial risks of breast cancer in first‐degree and second‐degree relatives in a nationwide cohort study of 5,099,172 women (follow‐up was between 1958‐2015). Family history was assessed using 3 approaches: 1) as a static variable (ever having a relative with breast

Cancer survival statistics for patients and healthcare professionals – a tutorial of real‐world data analysis

Published 30 July 2020 In this review, we explain statistical concepts targeted towards patients, clinicians and healthcare professionals that summarize cancer patient survival under the assumption that other causes of death exist. Specifically, we explain the appropriate use, interpretation and assumptions behind statistical methods for competing risks, loss in life expectancy due to cancer and c

Avoiding dynastic, assortative mating, and population stratification biases in Mendelian randomization through within-family analyses

Published 31 July 2020 Estimates from Mendelian randomization studies of unrelated individuals can be biased due to uncontrolled confounding from familial effects. Here we describe methods for within-family Mendelian randomization analyses and use simulation studies to show that family-based analyses can reduce such biases. Read more here.

Estimating Risk Ratios and Risk Differences Using Regression

Published 4 August 2020 Generalized linear models (GLMs) are often used with binary outcomes to estimate odds ratios. Though not as widely appreciated, GLMs can also be used to quantify risk differences, risk ratios, and their appropriate standard errors (1). Here, we illustrate how GLMs can be used to quantify these latter effect measures, and we demonstrate how to obtain valid standard errors. R

The Epidemiologic Toolbox: Identifying, Honing, and Using the Right Tools for the Job

Published 5 August 2020 There has been much debate about the relative emphasis of the field of epidemiology on causal inference. We believe this debate does short shrift to the breadth of the field. Epidemiologists answer myriad questions that are not causal and hypothesize about and investigate causal relationships without estimating causal effects. Descriptive studies face significant and often
