Estimability and estimation in case-referent studies.

American journal of epidemiology

Miettinen O.
PMID: 1251836
Am J Epidemiol. 1976 Feb;103(2):226-35. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a112220.

The concepts that case-referent studies provide for the estimation of "relative risk" only if the illness is "rare", and that the rates and risks themselves are inestimable, are overly superficial and restrictve. The ratio of incidence densities (forces of...

Methods of data analysis in the emergency medicine literature.

The American journal of emergency medicine

Menegazzi JJ, Yealy DM, Harris JS.
PMID: 2018591
Am J Emerg Med. 1991 May;9(3):225-7. doi: 10.1016/0735-6757(91)90081-t.

The authors hypothesized that data analysis in the current emergency medicine literature uses relatively few methods and sought to determine the frequency distributions of each method of analysis. The authors defined their population as original contributions in three refereed...

On sample-size and power calculations for studies using confidence intervals.

American journal of epidemiology

Greenland S.
PMID: 3381829
Am J Epidemiol. 1988 Jul;128(1):231-7. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a114945.

A recent trend in epidemiologic analysis has been away from significance tests and toward confidence intervals. In accord with this trend, several authors have proposed the use of expected confidence intervals in the design of epidemiologic studies. This paper...

Estimation of test error rates, disease prevalence and relative risk from misclassified data: a review.

Journal of clinical epidemiology

Walter SD, Irwig LM.
PMID: 3054000
J Clin Epidemiol. 1988;41(9):923-37. doi: 10.1016/0895-4356(88)90110-2.

We review methods for the analysis of categorical clinical and epidemiological data, in which the observations are subject to misclassification. Under certain conditions, it is possible to estimate error parameters such as sensitivity, specificity, relative risk, or predictive value,...

Multivariate analysis for matched case-control studies.

American journal of epidemiology

Holford TR, White C, Kelsey JL.
PMID: 629262
Am J Epidemiol. 1978 Mar;107(3):245-56. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a112531.

A multivariate method based on the linear logistic model is presented for the analysis of case-control studies with pairwise matching. This technique enables one to investigate the effect of several variables simultaneously in the analysis while allowing for the...

The ubiquitous 2X2 table, its parameters and their confidence limits.

Scandinavian journal of social medicine

Ipsen J.
PMID: 6505659
Scand J Soc Med. 1984;12(3):121-7. doi: 10.1177/140349488401200305.

The confidence limits for all parameters derived from a 2X2 contingency table are uniquely determined by the limiting matrices that arise from adding or subtracting certain values to or from the four cell entries. Various methods to determine these...

The exposure odds ratio in nested case-control studies with competing risks.

American journal of epidemiology

Flanders WD, Louv WC.
PMID: 3752062
Am J Epidemiol. 1986 Oct;124(4):684-92. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a114442.

A nested case-control study, also known as an ambidirectional study, is a case-control study within a cohort study. Although distortion by competing risks is well-recognized in follow-up studies, the problem has not been as widely appreciated in nested case-control...

Alternative approaches for estimating prevalence in epidemiologic surveys with two waves of respondents.

American journal of epidemiology

Brenner H.
PMID: 7485071
Am J Epidemiol. 1995 Dec 01;142(11):1236-45. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a117583.

Estimates of prevalence in epidemiologic surveys are prone to bias due to selective response. Therefore, much effort is devoted to reduce the number of nonrespondents. For example, individuals who do not respond in the first round of recruitment in...

Matched case-control designs and overmatched analyses.

American journal of epidemiology

Brookmeyer R, Liang KY, Linet M.
PMID: 3752063
Am J Epidemiol. 1986 Oct;124(4):693-701. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a114443.

In a 1:1 matched-pairs case-control study, several pairs may have the same matching criteria. The objective of this paper is to consider various analytic approaches for odds ratio estimation in this situation. One approach is to perform the usual...
