Data Science in Environmental Health ResearchSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 291-299 - 2019
Christine Choirat, Danielle Braun, Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou
Data science is an exploding trans-disciplinary field that aims to harness the power of data to gain information or insights on researcher-defined topics of interest. In this paper, we review how data science can help advance environmental health research. We discuss the concepts of computationally scalable handling of big data and the design of efficient research data platforms and how data scien...... hiện toàn bộ
Anxious Generation: a Review of the Relationship Between Anxiety Disorders and Cardiovascular Disease in YouthSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 39-43 - 2020
Irene Ryan
Rising rates of youth anxiety may adversely affect later cardiovascular health (CVH); thus, this is an area of research that could be lacking. Anxiety disorders and poor CVH have been linked in adults by way of negative effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and mortality. Anxiety disorders have also been linked to risky lifestyle and behavioral choices like adiposity, physical inact...... hiện toàn bộ
Developmental Origins of Cardiovascular DiseaseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 9-16 - 2014
Edwina H. Yeung, Candace Robledo, Nansi Boghossian, Cuilin Zhang, Pauline Mendola
Although cardiovascular disease has traditionally been viewed as a condition of aging individuals, increasing focus has turned to its developmental origins. Since birth weight has been related to cardiovascular disease risk, research into factors such as gravid conditions that affect fetal growth have grown. Associations between maternal diabetes and childhood obesity from sibling studies suggest ...... hiện toàn bộ
The Utility of Multistate Models: A Flexible Framework for Time-to-Event DataSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 183-189 - 2022
Jennifer G. Le-Rademacher, Terry M. Therneau, Fang-Shu Ou
Survival analyses are common and essential in medical research. Most readers are familiar with Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox models; however, very few are familiar with multistate models. Although multistate models were introduced in 1965, they only recently receive more attention in the medical research community. The current review introduces common terminologies and quantities that can be estimat...... hiện toàn bộ
The Curse of the Perinatal Epidemiologist: Inferring Causation Amidst SelectionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 379-387 - 2018
Jonathan M. Snowden, Marit L. Bovbjerg, Mekhala Dissanayake, Olga Basso
Human reproduction is a common process and one that unfolds over a relatively short time, but pregnancy and birth processes are challenging to study. Selection occurs at every step of this process (e.g., infertility, early pregnancy loss, and stillbirth), adding substantial bias to estimated exposure-outcome associations. Here, we focus on selection in perinatal epidemiology, specifically, how it ...... hiện toàn bộ
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Its Epidemiology and Implication beyond PregnancySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-11 - 2016
Liwei Chen, Rachel Mayo, Adaire Chatry, Gang Hu
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), defined as glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy, is the most common pregnancy complication worldwide. Recent data have shown a substantial rise in the prevalence of GDM among women of various ethnic/racial backgrounds and in different geographic regions. The purpose of the current review is to summarize recent studies about GDM d...... hiện toàn bộ
Differential Item Functioning and its Relevance to EpidemiologySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 174-183 - 2019
Richard N. Jones
In this review, I trace the origins, applications, limitations, and future prospects for research on measurement item bias or differential item functioning (DIF) in the context of health research. DIF arises in the context of using multiple item or symptom health instruments to rate the level of a particular condition, and describes the situation where not all persons at the same level of the unde...... hiện toàn bộ
