- 流行病学 流行病学
背景情况:
- 过早分娩与更高的近视风险有关,但由于混因素和反向因果关系,因果关系受到争论.
- 门德尔随机化 (MR) 提供了一种强大的方法来研究使用遗传变异的因果关系.
- 这项研究采用了两样MR策略来评估早产和近视之间的因果关系.
研究的目的:
- 调查早产和发展近视的风险之间的潜在因果关系.
- 用遗传变异作为工具变量来进行强大的因果推断.
- 克服传统流行病学研究在确定因果关系方面的局限性.
主要方法:

Regression Toward the Mean
6.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Randomized Experiments
6.8K
The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

Chi-square Analysis
38.2K
The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...
