Control yourself: ISPE‐endorsed guidance in the application of self‐controlled study designs in pharmacoepidemiology
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety"
DOI: 10.1002/pds.5227
Abstract: Consensus is needed on conceptual foundations, terminology and relationships among the various self‐controlled “trigger” study designs that control for time‐invariant confounding factors and target the association between transient exposures (potential triggers) and abrupt outcomes. The… read more here.
