  • Scent dogs in detection of Covid-19

    Open AccessAnu Kantele, Juuso Paajanen et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    OBJECTIVE: To estimate scent dogs' diagnostic accuracy in identification of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 in comparison with reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). We conducted a randomised triple-blinded validation trial, and a real-life study at the Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport, Finland. METHODS: Four dogs were trained to detect COVID-19 using skin swabs from individuals tested for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR. Our control…

  • Dose‐response analyses using restricted cubic spline functions in public health research

    Open AccessLoic Desquilbet, François MariottiARTICLEStatistics in Medicine2010

    Taking into account a continuous exposure in regression models by using categorization, when non‐linear dose‐response associations are expected, have been widely criticized. As one alternative, restricted cubic spline (RCS) functions are powerful tools (i) to characterize a dose‐response association between a continuous exposure and an outcome, (ii) to visually and/or statistically check the assumption of linearity of the association, and (iii) t…
