DOI: 10.1007/s10654-019-00578-3
Abstract: In recent years, epidemiologists have increasingly sought to employ genetic data to identify ‘causal’ relationships between exposures of interest and various endpoints – an instrumental variable approach sometimes termed Mendelian randomization. However, this approach is… read more here.

Inferring Causality from Observational Studies: The Role of Instrumental Variable Analysis.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Kidney international"
DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2021.03.018
Abstract: Inferring causality from observational studies can be challenging because of the perennial threat of biases from selection, measurement, and confounding. The gold standard study design in clinical research is the randomized controlled trial, since random… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00273171.2023.2194606
Abstract: The local independence assumption states that variables are unrelated after conditioning on a latent variable. Common problems that arise from violations of this assumption include model misspecification, biased model parameters, and inaccurate estimates of internal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ije/dyad060
Abstract: BACKGROUND Season of birth has been associated with age at menarche. Maternal vitamin D levels in pregnancy may explain this effect. We investigated whether the season of first trimester or maternal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] levels… read more here.
