So glad this is out. Thank you to my co-authors who donated their time to this important work: @yanningwang @skr9skr9 @clewig @NicoleSmolinski
This cross-sectional study investigates the prevalence of prenatal exposure to teratogenic medications and of prenatal care initiation across gestational weeks relative to common timing cutoffs for legal abortion. ja.ma/3w05iV0

The two newest PhDs delivered to science! Undoubtedly the most rewarding aspect of my work. Congratulations to @Amir_Sarayani and @thuynthai You both will be fantastic!

Very important course in the Pharmacoepidemiology menu: if one looks forward to make exposure assignments there is a chance one created bias. So easy to do...

We wrote this paper in December (before any emerging safety concerns). Updating it during the review process with that information was really troubling. Noteworthy, good old spontaneous reporting found safety issues first, not our sophisticated real-world data. A lot to do...

An example for this would be the "and there could be residual confounding and therefore my findings may be meaningless" disclaimer. Address residual confounding instead? Could it explain your results? Under what circumstances?

Trying to figure out which risk mitigation approaches actually work - one study at a time. FDA, we need more on this to make evidence-based policy decisions.

.@US_FDA took unusual action in removing uncomplicated infections from fluoroquinolones’ labeling indications. A @UF study in @JAMAInternalMed shows it helped reduce the antibiotics’ ubiquitous use, which has harmful side effects. @AlmutWinterste1 @UFCoDES ufhealth.org/news/2021/uf-st…

This is why we keep going. Congratulations!
Grateful for the opportunity to do this important research!

Congratulations to great work. And I can attest there is no other correlation with anything that has to do with 45.

That’s what I call committed. 😀But seriously, UF’s AI initiative affords us now faculty hiring opportunities. Contact me if interested.

This would be the “what should everyone know before attempting causal inference studies on drug effects” bibliography. Might be hard to squeeze this in 25 papers, but let’s see where we end up!
Must-read pharmacoepi papers!? 🤓 We are a group of pharmacoepi experts putting together a list of "top-25 papers you should read if you are an early-career pharmacoepidemiologist". Can you give us a hand? What papers should we consider? More details below 👇 #epitwitter
