A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990–2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

An Integrated Risk Function for Estimating the Global Burden of Disease Attributable to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Exposure

We developed a fine particulate mass-based RR model that covered the global range of exposure by integrating RR information from different combustion types that generate emissio...

The 15-Country Collaborative Study of Cancer Risk among Radiation Workers in the Nuclear Industry: Estimates of Radiation-Related Cancer Risks

A 15-Country collaborative cohort study was conducted to provide direct estimates of cancer risk following protracted low doses of ionizing radiation. Analyses included 407,391 ...

Risk of cancer after low doses of ionising radiation: retrospective cohort study in 15 countries

These estimates, from the largest study of nuclear workers ever conducted, are higher than, but statistically compatible with, the risk estimates used for current radiation prot...

Rejoinder: Reanalysis of the Harvard Six Cities Study and American Cancer Society Study of Particulate Air Pollution and Mortality

Grades of Recommendation for Antithrombotic Agents

The spatial association between community air pollution and mortality: a new method of analyzing correlated geographic cohort data.

We present a new statistical model for linking spatial variation in ambient air pollution to mortality. The model incorporates risk factors measured at the individual level, suc...

Non‐linear mixed regression models

Abstract In this paper we present an estimating equation approach to statistical inference for non‐linear random effects regression models for correlated data. With this approac...
