DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwaa031
Abstract: In almost all clinical settings, patients are at risk for multiple potential events and, in consultation with health-care providers, must weigh the potential benefits and harms across these events when making decisions. As researchers seek… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwab030
Abstract: Abstract Clinical prediction models (CPMs) are often used to guide treatment initiation, with individuals at high risk offered treatment. This implicitly assumes that the probability quoted from a CPM represents the risk to an individual… read more here.

Abstract: The article by Keil et al. (Am J Epidemiol. XXXX;XXX(XX):XXXX-XXXX) deploys Bayesian g- computation to investigate the causal effect of 6 airborne metal exposures linked to power plant emissions on birthweight. In so doing, it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwac066
Abstract: Abstract All else being equal, if we had 1 causal effect we wished to estimate, we would conduct a randomized trial with a protocol that mapped onto that causal question, or we would attempt to… read more here.

Invited Commentary: The Tao of Clinical Cohort Analysis-When the Transitions That Can Be Spoken of Are Not the True Transitions.

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kww236
Abstract: Patterns in risk-related behaviors identified using clinically deployed surveys may hold value for public health surveillance. However, because such surveys assess subjects only when subjects choose to visit clinics, clinical data are subject to variability… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwx083
Abstract: In this commentary, I review the insights that have been gained using Rothman's sufficient cause model (Am J Epidemiol. 1976;104(6):587-592). Discussion pertains to the relations of the model to similar conceptualizations in other fields of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwx090
Abstract: Agent-based models (ABMs) have grown in popularity in epidemiologic applications, but the assumptions necessary for valid inference have only partially been articulated. In this issue, Murray et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2017;186(2):131-142) provided a much-needed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwx146
Abstract: Meaningful inference in epidemiology relies on accurate exposure measurement. In longitudinal observational studies, having more exposure data in the form of repeated measurements in the same individuals adds useful information. But exactly how much do… read more here.

Abstract: This commentary reflects on a natural experiment reported by Casey et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2018;187(8):1586-1594) that tested the association between living near a coal or oil power plant and preterm birth. They found that… read more here.
