Applied longitudinal data analysis for epidemiology / Jos W. R. Twisk / Cambridge [U.K.] : Cambridge University Press (2003)

Applied longitudinal data analysis for epidemiology : a practical guide [printed text] / Jos W. R. Twisk, Author . - Cambridge [U.K.] : Cambridge University Press, 2003 . - XVI, 301 p. : ill. ; 25cm. ISBN : 978-0-521-81976-3 : 54,45 € Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Classification WA 105 Epidemiology Indexation Data Interpretation, Statistical ; Epidemiologic Studies ; Epidemiology ; Longitudinal Studies ; Models, Statistical ; Statistical methods Abstract: In this book the most important techniques available for longitudinal data analysis are discussed. This discussion includes simple techniques such as the paired t-test and summary statistics, but also more sophisticated techniques such as generalised estimating equations and random coefficient analysis. A distinction is made between longitudinal analysis with continuous, dichotomous, and categorical outcome variables. It should be stressed that the emphasis of the discussion lies on the interpretation of the different techniques and on the comparison of the results of different techniques. Furthermore, special chapters will deal with the analysis of two measurements, experimental studies and the problem of missing data in longitudinal studies. Finally, an extensive overview of (and a comparison between) different software packages is provided. It is important to realise that this book is a practical guide and especially suitable for non-statisticians. • Clearly understandable by non-statisticians • Compares and contrasts different techniques and methods of analysis • Illustrated with examples of real-life research questions Contents note: 1. Introduction; 2. Study design; 3. Continuous outcome variables; 4. Continuous outcome variables - relationships with other variables; 5. Other possibilities to model longitudinal data; 6. Dichotomous outcome variables; 7. Categorical and 'count' outcome variables; 8. Longitudinal studies with two measurements: the definition and analysis of change; 9. Analysis of experimental studies; 10. Missing data in longitudinal studies; 11. Tracking; 12. Software for longitudinal data-analysis; 13. Sample size calculations; Index.

Making health continuous / A Lecluyse in Health Economics, 15(2006)01 ([01/25/2006])  

[article] Making health continuous : implications of different methods on the measurement of inequality [printed text] / A Lecluyse, Author ; Irina Cleemput , Author . - 2006 . - 99-104. Languages : English (eng) in Health Economics > 15(2006)01 [01/25/2006] . - 99-104 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation Adult ; Attitude to Health ; Belgium ; Canada ; Epidemiology ; Geography ; Humans ; Income ; Journal Article ; Longitudinal Studies ; Models, Econometric ; Peer Review ; Regression analysis ; Research Design ; Self Concept ; Social Mobility ; Socioeconomic Factors ; statistics and numerical data [Subheading] ; United States Abstract: In most national surveys, health is measured as a categorical variable. However, in order to be able to calculate socio-economic inequalities in health, a continuous variable is needed. The recently developed interval regression approach was shown to outperform to other approaches like ordered probit. In this research we investigate the impact of using different sets of external data to estimate health inequalities: the EQ-index and the Canadian HUI. We found that the concentration index differs, but the income-related health mobility index and its decomposition are highly similar.

Oral health-care utilization in adults with disabilities in Belgium / Roos Leroy in European Journal of Oral Sciences, 121(2013)01 ([02/01/2013])  

[article] Oral health-care utilization in adults with disabilities in Belgium [printed text] / Roos Leroy , Author ; Dominique Declerck, Author . - 2013 . - p.36-42. Languages : English (eng) in European Journal of Oral Sciences > 121(2013)01 [02/01/2013] . - p.36-42 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation Adult ; Belgium ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; Journal Article ; Longitudinal Studies ; Middle Aged ; National Health Programs ; Peer Review ; Pilot Projects Abstract: Reports on oral health-service utilization among individuals with disabilities are very sparse. Nevertheless, such data are a prerequisite for the provision of proper care and for the development of optimal reimbursement schemes and may ultimately lead to better access to care. The objective of the present study was to provide data on oral health-care utilization in Belgian residents with disabilities and to compare these data with the utilization pattern of their peers without special needs. Data from the Permanent Sample of Socially Insured Persons, an anonymous representative sample of Belgian residents, were used. The database contained prospective data on oral and general health-care utilization and socio-demographic variables from 1,221 individuals with disabilities and from 131,877 individuals without disabilities, collected from 2002 to 2008. Overall, annual dental-attendance rates were very low and in those who attended, professional debridements, a cornerstone in preventive oral health care, were infrequently recorded. In adults with disabilities, significantly fewer radiographs, restorations, and endodontic treatments were recorded, whereas significantly more emergency visits were charged. Further research is indicated to evaluate whether this outcome points to high unmet oral-treatment needs.

The emergence of permanent teeth in Flemish children / Roos Leroy in Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 31(2003)01 ([02/01/2003])  

[article] The emergence of permanent teeth in Flemish children [printed text] / Roos Leroy , Author ; Kris Bogaerts, Author ; Emmanuel Lesaffre, Author ; Dominique Declerck, Author . - 2003 . - p.30-39. Languages : English (eng) in Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology > 31(2003)01 [02/01/2003] . - p.30-39 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation Belgium ; Child ; Dentistry ; Journal Article ; Logistic Models ; Longitudinal Studies ; Peer Review ; Survival Analysis Abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate the timing of emergence of permanent teeth in Flanders (Belgium). Data were obtained in the Signal-Tandmobiel projecta, a longitudinal study in a sample of 4468 Flemish children. Survival analysis with a log-logistic distribution was performed to calculate median (and mean) values and 95% CI's for all permanent teeth. The analysis indicated significantly earlier emergence ages in girls than in boys. The emergence pattern turned out to be symmetric in both sexes. Most mandibular teeth emerged significantly before their antagonists, in boys as well as in girls. These findings are in agreement with other studies on the emergence of permanent teeth Link for e-copy: https://doi.org/10.1034/j.1600-0528.2003.00023.x Format of e-copy: PDF [Requires Subscription] Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=4072 [article]
