Doubly robust estimation of attributable fractions [PDF]
Biostatistics, 2010 The attributable fraction (AF) is a widely used measure to assess the impact of an exposure on a disease. It is commonly estimated through maximum likelihood, which requires a regression model for the outcome. Recently, it was demonstrated that the AF can also be estimated through inverse probability weighting, which requires a model for the exposure ...

Estimation and application of population attributable fraction in ecological studies
Environmental Health, 2019 Estimation of population attributable fraction (PAF) requires unbiased relative risk (RR) by using either Levin’s or Miettinen’s formula, on which decision depends on the available exposure information in reference group, not the types of studies.

Quantifying The Proportion Of Cases Attributable To An Exposure [PDF]
, 2004 The attributable fraction and the average attributable fractions, which are commonly used to assess the relative effect of several exposures to the prevalence of a disease, do not represent the proportion of cases caused by each exposure.

On the Relations Between Excess Fraction, Attributable Fraction, and Etiologic Fraction [PDF]
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2012 It has been noted that there is ambiguity in the expression "attributable fraction," and epidemiologic literature has drawn a distinction between "excess fraction" and "etiologic fraction." These quantities do not necessarily approximate one another, and the etiologic fraction is not generally estimable without strong biologic assumptions.

Liver mortality attributable to chronic hepatitis C virus infection in Denmark and Scotland: using spontaneous resolvers as the benchmark comparator [PDF]
, 2016 Liver mortality among individuals with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection is common, but the relative contribution of CHC per se versus adverse health behaviors is uncertain.

The population-attributable fraction for time-dependent exposures using dynamic prediction and landmarking [PDF]
, 2019 The public health impact of a harmful exposure can be quantified by the population-attributable fraction (PAF). The PAF describes the attributable risk due to an exposure and is often interpreted as the proportion of preventable cases if the exposure ...

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2015 Objective: To estimate the numbers and proportions of cancers occurring in Australia in 2010 attributable to modifiable causal factors. Methods: We estimated the population attributable fraction (PAF) of cancers associated with exposure to 13 causal ...
