Published 17 June 2019 Causal modeling and inference rely on strong assumptions, one of which is conditional exchangeability. Uncontrolled confounding is often seen as if it is the most important threat to conditional exchangeability although collider-stratification bias or selection bias can be just as important New publicayion in Epidemiology.Read more here.

Published 18 June 2019 When epidemiologic studies are conducted in a subset of the population, selection bias can threaten the validity of causal inference. This bias can occur whether or not that selected population is the target population and can occur even in the absence of exposure–outcome confounding.

Published 27 June 2019 Smoking is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and causes exposure to cadmium, which is a pro-atherosclerotic metal. Cadmium exposure has also been shown to increase the risk of CVD, even after adjustment for smoking. Our hypothesis was that part of the risk of CVD in smokers may be mediated by cadmium exposure from tobacco smoke. We examined this hypothesi
