Hoogleraar @MarkvanderWel (werkzaam bij de afdeling waaronder ook onze master valt) schrijft een pittige brief aan dhr./mevr. AI. Begrijpt deze laatste de (zieke) mens wel? Zou AI niet eens vaak vaker een statisticus (en epidemioloog denken wij) moeten consulteren? Spoiler:ja!!!

The Journal Observational Studies has just published interviews with 4 causal inference contributors, Don Rubin, Jamie Robins, James Heckman, and humble me. Here's a link to my interview: muse.jhu.edu/article/867087… The other 3 can be found via Obs. Studies. Ian Schrier is moderating

Have we opened a ‘Pandora’s Box’ of Systematic Review types? We discuss this (and more) in our recent ⁦BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine⁩ paper 👇 ebm.bmj.com/content/early/…

Schrijftip mbt een zinsconstructie die we in theses veel zien:

I’ve spoken recently about how EBM teaching should move away from risk of bias/methods to understanding overall quality of evidence & results. Latest a 10 minute exposition for a meeting celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Iberoamerican Cochrane Center youtu.be/RfLlPChUlqU

We wrote a comment on interpreting the AUC, including a literature search of qualitative labels (w/ Anne de Hond and Ewout Steyerberg): thelancet.com/journals/landi…

Helpful and insightful explanation of how predictive values change when prevalence changes. But beware - it is not certain that sensitivity and specificity remain unchanged. In theory they do, but in reality different prevalence may correspond with a different patient spectrum/

Because what patients care about is absolute and not relative effects, it is crucial that systematic reviews provide absolute as well as relative effect estimates. Sadly, they very often don’t. doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…

No matter what you were taught, don't bother to test for proportional hazards in survival analyses. Hazards are never proportional because hazard ratios vary over the follow-up if treatment has an effect on survival. @mats_julius and I explain it here: jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

From its inception, EBM has had its critics. In 2008 we were asked to engage in a debate about whether EBM has a sound scientific basis. The paper we wrote for the debate presents one of the nicest explanations of the role of EBM and what it offers. doi.org/10.1378/chest.…

Great new read from Stephen John Senn for any trialist, observationalist or casualist with an interest in analyzing data that are nested (or clustered, multilevel,...) doi.org/10.1007/s10654…
