What do you suggest when it is a common practice in some places ?

Sophie Pilleron @spilleron.bsky.social · Jul 8

No. In the paper I read, they use multiple multivariable logistic regressions on 1000s potential exposures of an outcome, to identify those which remain significant at a very low p-value threshold. They do another multivariable analysis, and after something about Mendelian randomisation.

There's an increasing interest in exposome-related research using GWAS methods. I'm not an expert & not a fan of data-driven approaches, which look like p-fishing exercises.

Does anyone know a resource which criticises these approaches or convinces me that they're good?

🙏

Not sure how to describe me if you were stupid 😬 You are very far from being stupid.

Sophie Pilleron @spilleron.bsky.social · Mar 2

Not here 🤔 It seems that it is more a technical issue than a political shut down.

Putting the finishing touches on a grant proposal—only to realise that a recently published paper is strikingly similar to what I had planned to propose!

Happy to see this published! I had been thinking of writing something similar when I found the time.

For all researchers working with quantitative data, this is a must-read 👇

Now I finally have a ref to attach to all my peer reviews! 😊https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000210171

I know about the residual confounding at T0. It was more about the Daggitty comment I was worried about. Thank you for your help. Hope you are doing well :)

Sophie Pilleron @spilleron.bsky.social · Feb 14

Actually, a bit more complicated than that. But basically observed only at T1. I tried with observed/unobserved etc still incorrectly adjusted.

Sophie Pilleron @spilleron.bsky.social · Feb 14

Observed at T1 but not observed at T0.

👋 Need help!

Is there a way I can estimate the causal effect of sleep on cancer risk in the scenario below?

DAGITTY tells me "Incorrectly adjusted" when adjusted on lifestyle factors at T-1 and T0.
