Excited to be part of the Bristol-Bordeaux Public Health Meeting 2024! Looking forward to the diverse set of talks over the next two days to facilitate research and training collaboration. #UB2PH2024

Compared with no invitation for routine PSA testing, a single invitation for a PSA screening test reduced prostate cancer mortality at a median follow-up of 15 years, but the absolute mortality benefit was small.

This was a huge amount of work over many years. Thanks to all who participated in developing ROBINS-E!

Come! In person or online.

Very much looking forward to sharing our work and discussing future collaborations at the home of causal inference.

Emerging concern or marginal issue? asks Rami Kantor in his commentary on our study of #dolutegravir resistance.
In this collaborative analysis of #HIV cohort studies, we identified INSTI DRMs in 86 (14%) of 599 viraemic people on dolutegravir-based ART.

If you are studying exposures which recur regularly and can change over time, Kate Birnie’s paper is a great example of how to think through potential causal comparisons.

We don’t have to limit ourselves to “yes or no” questions! Understanding nuance is harder but within reach!

The abstract👇🏼

If you reached out to me asking about continuous exposures over time in the past few years, the this is the paper I told you was “coming soon”!

Kate’s done a really thorough job explaining the ins and outs of the method! Enjoy!

New paper alert:

Led by the amazing Kate Birnie, this new methods paper addresses estimating inverse probability weights when your exposure is continuous and can change over time in complex ways.

Check it out!👇🏼

Question:
How are observational studies that explicitly aim to emulate a target trial reported?
Answer:
Not well - reporting could have been more consistent and complete for many studies.
