Missing data in cross-sectional studies can bias results. This study presents methods to adjust for missing disease or exposure data using likelihood adjustments, improving analysis accuracy for epidemiologic research.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Cross-sectional studies commonly use risk difference, relative risk, and odds ratios.
  • Missing data on disease or exposure can introduce bias in complete-case analyses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present methods for adjusting analyses in cross-sectional studies with missing data.
  • To provide insights into the bias of complete-case analysis under various missing data scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • Adjusting the multinomial likelihood to account for missing data under different missing data mechanisms.
  • Proposing maximum likelihood analysis with supplemental data for inestimable missing data parameters.
  • Discussing adjustment for confounders using stratified analysis.

Main Results:

  • Analytical results demonstrate the bias inherent in complete-case analysis for each scenario.
  • Numerical results illustrate the performance of likelihood-based estimates in the most general case.

Conclusions:

  • Likelihood-based methods offer adjustments for missing data in cross-sectional studies.
  • Addressing missing data is crucial for reducing bias and ensuring accurate estimation of associations.
