--> Published version: www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

--> Open access version: arxiv.org/pdf/2402.17366

Congratulations Georgia! It's a really nice paper.

🚨 Next month, we’ll be hosting a one-day event on target-trial emulation and other frameworks, exploring the role and potential of observational data for evaluating the effects of interventions

Open to everyone working in #datascience #biostatistics #clinicaltrials

HIRING!

2 PhD openings within the “Safe Causal Inference” consortium with experts from biostatistics, computer science, math, and epidemiology.

You'll develop new methods to evaluate prediction algorithms that take the causal effect of treatments into account.

🎫Registration open for 1-day hybrid event: “Target trial emulation and other frameworks: The role and potential of observational data for evaluating effects of interventions”. 📆26th June. tinyurl.com/dash-tte. Hosted by LSHTM Centre for Data & Statistical Science for Health. @lshtm-dash.bsky.social

Similarly a case-cohort study is regarded as a type of case-control sample, and the analysis is typically based on Cox regression and pseudo partial likelihood. Both analyses (nested cc and case-cohort) result in HR estimates.

Agreeing with @pausalz.bsky.social. A nested case-control study uses cases and selects controls from the risk sets. The analysis is typically based on a (stratified) Cox model and partial likelihood.

This hybrid event is aimed at people interested in real-world evidence, causal inference and trial emulation in health research - including statisticians, epidemiologists, data scientists, clinicians, decision-makers,.... 🎫Information on how to register to follow soon! 🎫. @lshtm-dash.bsky.social

📣 Do you want to learn about recent advances in causal inference?

Colleagues at INSERM are organising a workshop gathering international experts in the field. Bonus: it's happening in two amazing locations 🌇🇫🇷

Really enjoyed this session on "Simulation studies for good practice in biostatistics", which was really well-attended and lots of interesting discussion.

🔥Air pollution from landscape fires associated with over 1.5 million deaths globally per year.

New research in The Lancet co-authored by Malcolm Mistry
& Antonio Gasparrini from #EHMLab at LSHTM assessed the global impact of #AirPollution from landscape fires.

Hmm, I have an outfit like this too! Glad to be wearing the correct uniform. Looks like a fun trip!

New paper from Shaun Seaman and me on how to simulate data from marginal structural models (MSMs) for survival outcomes, including Cox MSMs. This can be useful in simulation studies evaluating causal inference methods that use MSMs. R code provided. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
