A unification of models for meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies (2006)
Harbord, Roger M., Deeks, Jonathan J., Egger, Matthias, Whiting, Penny, Sterne, Jonathan A.C.
Studies of diagnostic accuracy require more sophisticated methods for their meta-analysis than studies of therapeutic interventions. A number of different, and apparently divergent, methods for...
Lawlor, Debbie A., Sterne, Jonathan A. C., Tynelius, Per, Davey Smith, George, Rasmussen, Finn
Previous studies have lacked sufficient power to assess associations between early-life socioeconomic position and adult cause-specific mortality. The authors examined associations of parental social...
Regression models for twin studies: a critical review (2005)
Carlin, John B., Gurrin, Lyle C., Sterne, Jonathan A. C., Morley, Ruth, Dwyer, Terry
Twin studies have long been recognized for their value in learning about the aetiology of disease and specifically for their potential for separating genetic effects from environmental effects. The...
Metcalfe, Chris, Davey Smith, George, Sterne, Jonathan A. C., Heslop, Pauline, Macleod, John, Hart, Carole L.
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of childhood and adulthood social class with the occurrence of specific diseases, including those not associated with a high...
Tilling, Kate, Sterne, Jonathan A. C., Szklo, Moyses
Standard methods for analysis of cohort studies may give biased estimates of exposure effects in the presence of time-varying confounding. Such effects may instead be estimated by using G-estimation....
Dietary antioxidants and asthma in adults: population-based case-control study (2001)
Shaheen, Seif O., Sterne, Jonathan A.C., Thompson, Rachel L., Songhurst, Christina E., Margetts, Barrie M., Burney, Peter G.
A protective role for dietary antioxidants in asthma has been proposed. However, epidemiological evidence to implicate antioxidant vitamins is weak, and data on the role of flavonoid-rich foods and...
Capture-Recapture Models Including Covariate Effects (1999)
Tilling, Kate, Sterne, Jonathan A. C.
Capture-recapture methods are used to estimate the incidence of a disease, using a multiple-source registry. Usually, log-linear methods are used to estimate population size, assuming that not all...
Geographic Determinants of Leprosy in Karonga District, Northern Malawi (1995)
STERNE, JONATHAN A C, PÖNNIGHAUS, JÖRG M, FINE, PAUL E M, MALEMA, SIMON S
Background Geographical differences in leprosy risk are not understood, but may provide clues about the natural history of the disease. We report an analysis of the geographical distribution of...
