Target Trial Emulation in Observational Research—Strengths, Limitations, and Methodological Considerations

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The target trial framework is a pragmatic roadmap for observational causal inference that clarifies questions, mitigates time‐related bias, and improves interpretability while acknowledging limits. With transparent protocols, appropriate methods, and suitable data, it can complement randomized trials and inform practice and policy.

Study Design in Clinical and Epidemiologic Research: Observational, Experimental, and Beyond

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Population‐based epidemiology and clinical research are complementary and mutually reinforcing: Epidemiology quantifies disease incidence/prevalence and elucidates environmental and social determinants in populations, whereas clinical research evaluates biomarkers, therapeutics, and prognostic outcomes in patients; their convergence underpins ...

Maternal Dietary Inflammatory Index and Biomarkers of Inflammation at Birth

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We evaluated the association between the inflammatory potential of the maternal diet during pregnancy and levels of inflammatory biomarkers measured in cord blood and maternal serum at birth. Dietary inflammatory potential was calculated using the energy‐adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E‐DII) in the French EDEN and ELFE birth cohorts ...

Incident Lung Cancer and Mortality: Data From Health ABC Using Periodontal Status and Tooth Loss

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate whether periodontal parameters and tooth loss are associated with lung cancer incidence and mortality among older adults. Materials and Methods Data are from the Health, Aging and Body Composition (Health ABC) study, which included 1136 older adults who received a periodontal examination and were followed for up to 16 years ...
