UK Biobank
Cathie Sudlow and colleagues describe the UK Biobank, a large population-based prospective study, established to allow investigation of the genetic and non-genetic determinants of the diseases of middle and old age.
O1-2.1 The use of remote methods in the conduct of gene-environment interaction studies
Background The scientific value of large-scale prospective gene-environment interaction (GxE) studies is widely accepted. However, these studies are prohibitively expensive and few are conducted. This approach, therefore, remains under-exploited. The ability to conduct prospective GxE studies entirely remotely, that is, without direct participant contact, promises substantial cost savings and would increase our capacity to utilise this design. Ai…
O3-5.4 Datashield
Contemporary research in biosocial science can demand vast sample sizes. Often, data must be aggregated across several studies or data sources to provide adequate power. When a pooled analysis is required, analytic efficiency and flexibility are typically best served by combining the individual-level data from all sources and analysing them as a single large data set. But valid ethico-legal constraints can prohibit or discourage the sharing of in…
"Beyond "misunderstanding
Relationships between child, family and neighbourhood characteristics and childhood injury
Clinical significance not statistical significance
OBJECTIVES: To take the common "Bayesian" interpretation of conventional confidence intervals to its logical conclusion, and hence to derive a simple, intuitive way to interpret the results of public health and clinical studies. DESIGN AND SETTING: The theoretical basis and practicalities of the approach advocated is at first explained and then its use is illustrated by referring to the interpretation of a real historical cohort study. The study …
A case-control study of childhood pedestrian injuries in Perth, Western Australia
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To identify the determinants of childhood pedestrian injuries, taking the child's exposure to the road environment into account. DESIGN: This was a case-control study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: The study was conducted in Perth, Western Australia between 1991 and 1993. Altogether 100 injured and 400 uninjured child pedestrians aged 1 to 14 years were studied. Aspects of the child's social and physical environments, measures of hi…
Neonatal intensive care cots
STUDY OBJECTIVES--To estimate the population based requirement for neonatal intensive care (NIC) cots by investigating NIC utilisation in a large population based study. DESIGN AND SETTING--This was a two year, non-randomised, prospective cohort study of neonates receiving NIC in hospitals in the Trent Regional Health Authority (RHA). PARTICIPANTS--The main study considered the 2979 neonates born to Trent RHA residents who had begun high dependen…
