Bias in case‐crossover studies of medications due to persistent use: A simulation study [PDF]
AbstractPurposeThe case‐crossover design is increasingly used to evaluate the effects of chronic medications; however, as traditionally implemented in pharmacoepidemiology, with referent period preceding the outcome, it may lead to bias in the presence of persistent exposures.

Background Surgery is a major transient risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, the impact of major surgery as a VTE trigger has been scarcely investigated using a case-crossover design.

Case-crossover studies of occupational trauma: methodological caveats [PDF]
Objectives—The case-crossover study design was developed to examine triggers for the onset of myocardial infarction. This paper seeks to examine selected methodological issues when applying the case-crossover method to the study of traumatic injuries in the work environment.Methods—Researchers known to be working on occupational case-crossover studies ...

Background: Epidemiology studies have shown a consistently increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) correlated with particulate matter (PM) exposure. However, little is known about the association with specific AMI subtypes. In this work, we

Global Persistence Exponent in Critical Dynamics: Finite Size induced Crossover [PDF]
We extend the definition of a global order parameter to the case of a critical system confined between two infinite parallel plates separated by a finite distance $L$.

Sample size estimation for case‐crossover studies
Case‐crossover study designs are observational studies used to assess postmarket safety of medical products (eg, vaccines or drugs). As a case‐crossover study is self‐controlled, its advantages include better control for confounding because the design controls for any time‐invariant measured and unmeasured confounding and potentially greater ...

Weather conditions associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage: a multicenter case-crossover study
Background Most spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) occur unexpectedly and independently of classical risk factors. In the light of increasing climate variability and change, we investigated weather and rapid weather changes as possible short-term
