Estimating protection afforded by prior infection in preventing reinfection: Applying the test-negative study design
Am J Epidemiol. 2023 Dec 7:kwad239. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwad239. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to use infection testing databases to rapidly estimate effectiveness of prior infection in preventing reinfection ($P{E}_S$) by novel SARS-CoV-2 variants. Mathematical modeling was used to demonstrate a theoretical foundation for applicability of the test-negative, case-control study design to derive $P{E}_S$. Apart from the very early phase of an epidemic, the difference between the test-negative estimate for $P{E}_S$ and true value of $P{E}_S$ was minimal and became negligible as the ...

The application of target trials with longitudinal targeted maximum likelihood estimation to assess the effect of alcohol consumption in adolescence on depressive symptoms in adulthood
We describe strategies for dealing with high-dimensional potential drinking patterns and practical positivity violations due to a long follow-up time, including modifying the effect of interest by removing sparsely observed drinking patterns from the loss function and applying longitudinal modified treatment policies to represent the effect of discouraging drinking.PMID:38061692 | DOI:10.1093/aje/kwad241 (Source: Am J Epidemiol)

Environmental and Occupational Exposures and Prognosis in Patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer in the Be-Well Study
Am J Epidemiol. 2023 Dec 5:kwad236. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwad236. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBladder cancer is primarily diagnosed as non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with high recurrence and progression rates. Environmental and occupational exposures to carcinogens are well-known risk factors for developing bladder cancer, yet their effects on prognosis remain unknown. In the Be-Well Study, a population-based prospective cohort study of 1,472 patient with newly diagnosed NMIBC from 2015 to 2019, we examined history of environmental and occupational exposures in relation to tumor stage and grade at initial diagnos...

Understanding the roles of state demographics and state policies in epidemiologic studies of maternal-child health disparities
Am J Epidemiol. 2023 Dec 5:kwad240. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwad240. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDisparities in maternal-child health outcomes by race and ethnicity highlight structural differences in the opportunity for optimal health in the United States. Examples of these differences include access to state-level social policies that promote maternal-child health. States vary in their racial and ethnic composition as a result of the complex history of policies and laws related to slavery, Indigenous genocide and relocation, segregation, immigration, and settlement in the United States. States also vary in the social policies...

Prediction of Suicide Attempts Among Persons with Depression: A Population-Based Case Cohort Study
Am J Epidemiol. 2023 Dec 5:kwad237. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwad237. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStudies have highlighted the potential importance of modeling interactions for suicide attempt prediction. This case-cohort study identified risk factors for suicide attempts among persons with depression in Denmark using statistical approaches that do (random forests) or do not model interactions (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression [LASSO]). Cases made a non-fatal suicide attempt (n = 6,032) between 1995 and 2015. The comparison subcohort was a 5% random sample of all persons in Denmark on January 1, 1995 (n...
