Arguments about face masks and Covid-19 reflect broader methodologic debates within medical scienceEuropean Journal of Epidemiology - Tập 36 Số 2 - Trang 143-147 - 2021
Neil Pearce, Jan P. Vandenbroucke
AbstractThere has perhaps been no issue as contentious in Covid-19 as face masks. The most contentious scientific debate has been between those who argue that “there is no scientific evidence”, by which they mean that there are no randomized controlled trials (RCTs), versus those who argue that when the evidence is considered together, “the science supports that fa...... hiện toàn bộ

Epidemiology and risk factors of pneumonia in critically ill patientsEuropean Journal of Epidemiology - - 1991
P. Mosconi, M. Langer, M. Cigada, M. Mandelli
Risk factors for pneumonia were analysed in a large population of critically ill patients, collected in two prospective multicentre “pneumonia studies” in Italy. Twenty-three intensive care units were involved and the study time was 150 unit months. Only patients without previous pulmonary infection, with intensive care unit stay ≥ 48 hours and no rapidly irreversible illness at admission were inc...... hiện toàn bộ
Circulating vitamin D, calcium and risk of cerebrovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysisEuropean Journal of Epidemiology - Tập 27 - Trang 581-591 - 2012
Rajiv Chowdhury, Sarah Stevens, Heather Ward, Susmita Chowdhury, Ayesha Sajjad, Oscar H. Franco
Available literature suggests that both vitamin D and calcium may be associated with a wide range of non-skeletal outcomes. However, epidemiological evidence supporting their individual associations with incident cerebrovascular disease is scarce. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies, published before February 2012 and sought from MEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS...... hiện toàn bộ
Nordic Medical Birth Registers in epidemiological researchEuropean Journal of Epidemiology - Tập 13 Số 2 - Trang 169-175 - 1997
Gissler, Mika, Louhiala, Pekka, Hemminki, Elina
This review discusses the use of Nordic Medical Birth Registers (MBRs) in epidemiological studies, paying special attention to the topics that have been investigated and to other data sources that increase the usefulness of MBRs. We divided the reviewed studies into four groups according to the data sources on which they were based: (1) studies using MBR data only; (2) studies combining maternal o...... hiện toàn bộ
Coxsackievirus B3 myocarditis in C3H/HeJ mice: Description of an inbred model and the effect of exercise on virulenceEuropean Journal of Epidemiology - Tập 5 - Trang 348-350 - 1989
R. J. Kiel, F. E. Smith, J. Chason, R. Khatib, M. P. REYES
The effect of forced exercise on the development of coxsackievirus 133 myocarditis in inbred C3H/HeJ mice was studied. Four groups of mice (30 per group) were formed: infected-exercised (Group I); infected-unexercised (Group II); uninfected-exercised (Group III); and uninfected unexercised (Group IV). Infected mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with 1.0 × 102.1 TCID50 coxsackievirus 133. Exerc...... hiện toàn bộ
Non-occupational risk factors for cancer of the lower urinary tract in GermanyEuropean Journal of Epidemiology - Tập 15 - Trang 411-419 - 1999
Hermann Pohlabeln, Karl-Heinz Jöckel, Ulrich Bolm-Audorff
In a hospital-based case–control study conducted between 1989 and 1992 in Hessen (West-Germany) 300 cases (239 male and 61 female) of histologically confirmed cancer of the lower urinary tract (LUT) were individually matched to controls from the same hospitals with respect to sex, age and area of residence. Smoking of cigarettes was associated with an elevated risk of 2.80 in males (95% confidence...... hiện toàn bộ
