Trial Analysis & Interpretation in Critical Care Using the Evidential (Likelihood) Approach
OA @ATSBlueEditor:

Frequentist, Bayesian, & evidential approaches form a complementary toolkit for critical care research.

At the Center for Methods in Implementation and Prevention Science (CMIPS) at the Yale School of Public Health @YaleSPH, we develop and apply rigorous biostatistical and epidemiological methods to address these gaps and accelerate real-world impact.

"Without any new cures for anything, we could actually prevent and mitigate 80% or more of most of the world's health problems." That's where #ImplementationScience comes in.

Bothered by the proliferation of stepped-wedge clinical trials with very few clusters? Guanyu Tong and colleagues study this issue and offer advice. @TonyGuangyuTONG @YaleCardiology @ysphbiostat @SCTorg @MonicaTaljaard

Big data is transforming public health and society like never before.
This summer, we are launching the Big Data Summer Immersion at Yale (BDSY), an interdisciplinary training, research, and professional development program in biostatistics.

In this new paper led by @BingkaiWang, we showed that stepped wedge randomization can guard against covariate, random-effects, and error structure misspecifications, though treatment effect structure still requires careful consideration.

@Nephronette presented her RCT of Early, Individualized Recommendations for Hospitalized Patients With AKI on the big stage at @ASNKidney #KidneyWk as it was being released online in @JAMA_current !
Check it out 👇! Congrats to the whole KAT-AKI Team!

Excited to share our new paper in Biometrika! We make quantile causal inference accessible by introducing an inverse estimating equations approach that extends causal estimation from mean potential outcomes to their quantiles. academic.oup.com/biomet/arti…

Curious about extremely small stepped wedge cluster randomized trials (SW-CRTs)? Our latest paper, led by @TonyGuangyuTONG, explores the landscape of published SW-CRTs with <= 6 clusters. Take a look at what we found!

Excited to share that our new paper is now online! We formalized average treatment effect estimands in stepped wedge cluster randomized trials and show that linear regression can provide robust & estimand-aligned inference under informative cluster sizes

Members of our Biostatistics and Study Design Core tested the performance of various analytic models for individually randomized group treatment trials in which complex clustering arises from participants interacting with multiple intervention agents.

Does the hazard ratio have a causal interpretation? Should Cox modeling be used in analyzing clinical trials? Read all about it in this point-counterpoint of Michael Fay and Fan Li versus Dan Heitjan. @SCTorg @YaleSPH @SouthernMethod @FanLi90

Worry about random-effects misspecification in stepped wedge trials? Then consider the cluster-robust sandwich variance estimator as part of the primary analysis. We offer some practical recommendations in this simulation study led by @douyang3 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
