Estimating Attributable Mortality of Modifying Selected Risk Factors of Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
Novelty in Clinical Medicine, 2022 Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death due to non-communicable diseases and myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common causes of death due to cardiovascular diseases worldwide.Objectives: The aim of this study was to

Pathway-specific population attributable fractions [PDF]
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2020 Abstract A population attributable fraction (PAF) represents the relative change in disease prevalence that one might expect if a particular exposure was absent from the population. Often, one might be interested in what percentage of this effect acts through particular pathways.

Population attributable fraction [PDF]
BMJ, 2018 Much statistical analysis seeks to identify associations between exposures and outcomes. The population attributable fraction (PAF) is an epidemiologic measure widely used to assess the public health impact of exposures in populations. PAF is defined as the fraction of all cases of a particular disease or other adverse condition in a population that is

Population attributable fractions for continuously distributed exposures [PDF]
Epidemiologic Methods, 2020 Abstract When estimating population attributable fractions (PAF), it is common to partition a naturally continuous exposure into a categorical risk factor. While prior risk factor categorization can help estimation and interpretation, it can result in underestimation of the disease burden attributable to the exposure as well as biased

Defining the population attributable fraction for infectious diseases [PDF]
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2017 The population attributable fraction (PAF) is used to quantify the contribution of a risk group to disease burden. For infectious diseases, high-risk individuals may increase disease risk for the wider population in addition to themselves; therefore methods are required to estimate the PAF for infectious diseases.A mathematical model of disease ...

The population-attributable fraction for time-to-event data
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2022 Abstract Background Even though the population-attributable fraction (PAF) is a well-established metric, it is often incorrectly estimated or interpreted not only in clinical application, but also in statistical research articles.
