  • Accounting for missing data in statistical analyses

    Open AccessRachael A Hughes, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    BACKGROUND: 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. METHODS: We provide guidance on choice of analysis when data are incomplete. Using causal diagrams to depict missingness mechanisms, we describe wh…

  • Quadas-2

    Open AccessPenny Whiting, Penny F Whiting et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Internal Medicine2011

    In 2003, the QUADAS tool for systematic reviews of diagnostic accuracy studies was developed. Experience, anecdotal reports, and feedback suggested areas for improvement; therefore, QUADAS-2 was developed. This tool comprises 4 domains: patient selection, index test, reference standard, and flow and timing. Each domain is assessed in terms of risk of bias, and the first 3 domains are also assessed in terms of concerns regarding applicability. Sig…

  • Mendelian randomization

    Open AccessDeborah A Lawlor, Debbie A Lawlor et al.ARTICLEStatistics in Medicine2008

    Observational epidemiological studies suffer from many potential biases, from confounding and from reverse causation, and this limits their ability to robustly identify causal associations. Several high‐profile situations exist in which randomized controlled trials of precisely the same intervention that has been examined in observational studies have produced markedly different findings. In other observational sciences, the use of instrumental v…

  • The geography of despair among 15–44-year-old men in England and Wales

    Nicos Middleton, Jonathan A C Sterne et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2006Cited by: 12References: 43

    Objective: To investigate the spatial patterning and possible contributors to the geographical distribution of suicide among 15–44- year-old men. Design: Small-area analysis and mapping of geo-coded 1988–94 suicide mortality data and 1991 census data using random-effects smoothing. Setting: 9265 electoral wards in England and Wales (mean population of men aged 15–44- years: about 1220). Main results: Two main patterns emerged: (a) in all of the 1…
