Systematic Endobronchial Ultrasound - The Six Landmarks Approach

2.8K
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided sampling using transbronchial needle aspiration plays a key role in staging and diagnosing lung cancer. We propose a systematic stepwise approach dividing the procedure into six landmarks that should be taught to new operators.

Confounding in Epidemiological Studies

592
Confounding in statistical epidemiology represents a pivotal challenge, referring to the distortion in the perceived relationship between an exposure and an outcome due to the presence of a third variable, known as a confounder. This variable is associated with both the exposure and the outcome but is not a direct link in their causal chain. Its presence can lead to erroneous interpretations of the exposure's effect, either exaggerating or underestimating the true association. This...

Dissociation of the Confounding Influences of Expectancy and Integrative Difficulty Residing in Anomalous Sentences in Event-related Potential Studies

5.7K
We present a protocol to dissociate the intertwining factors of integrative difficulty and unexpectedness in semantically anomalous sentences by applying multiple repetitions to enhance participant's expectancy for anomalous sentences. The dissociation helps to investigate the major contributor of elicited event-related potentials (ERP) effects such as N400 in language...

This summary is machine-generated.

Multiple imputation can reduce bias in distributed data networks when confounders are missing. This method proved effective in both simulations and real-world data analysis for statin use and myocardial infarction risk.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Biostatistics
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Distributed data networks face challenges with systematically missing confounders across sites.
  • Centralized analysis is often restricted, limiting traditional methods like multiple imputation.
  • Unmeasured confounders can introduce significant bias in observational studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate multiple imputation for handling systematically missing confounders in distributed data networks.
  • To assess the feasibility of adapting multiple imputation for decentralized data analysis.
  • To reduce bias in estimating the effect of statin use on myocardial infarction risk in type 2 diabetes patients.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a simulation study with univariate missing data.
  • Performed a real-world analysis using UK's Clinical Practice Research Datalink with multivariate missing data.
  • Designed retrospective cohort studies to assess statin use and myocardial infarction risk.

Main Results:

  • Multiple imputation significantly reduced bias from missing body mass index (BMI) in simulations, with over 100% median bias reduction.
  • In real-world data, multiply imputed analysis yielded results closer to the true confounder analysis than ignoring missing data.
  • The hazard ratio for statin use was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.69-1.08) in the imputed analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple imputation adapted for distributed data settings is a viable method to mitigate bias from unmeasured confounders.
  • This approach is effective when key variables are available in at least one database.
  • Further validation in actual distributed data networks is recommended.
