Attributable risk of suicide for populations in Australia

Frontiers in Psychiatry
ObjectiveEach year approximately 3,000 Australians die by suicide. We estimated the population attributable risk for identified target populations to provide evidence on how much of the overall burden of suicide in the Australian population is ...

Misclassification in the Partial Population Attributable Risk

, 2019
The population attributable risk (PAR) is often defined as the percent reduction in disease incidence that would be observed if the exposure were to be entirely removed from the population, given the exposure distribution in the population to which the results are intended to apply.

The population risk of fractures attributable to oral corticosteroids

Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, 2005
AbstractPurposePrevious studies have indicated a relationship between oral corticosteroid use and the risk of fracture, although without population‐based comparators or exact dose information. The aim was to estimate the relative and population attributable risk (PAR) of admission for non‐traumatic fracture among users of corticosteroids.MethodsThe ...

Population fraction of Parkinson’s disease attributable to preventable risk factors

npj Parkinson's Disease, 2023
Parkinson’s disease is the fastest-growing neurologic disease with seemingly no means of prevention. Intrinsic risk factors (age, sex, and genetics) are inescapable, but environmental factors are not.

Population Attributable Risk for Pancreatic Cancer in Northern Italy

Pancreas, 2015
To provide data on the impact of known risk factors on pancreatic cancer burden, we estimated the population attributable risks (PARs) in the Italian population.Data were derived from a case-control study conducted in Northern Italy between 1991 and 2008, including 326 case patients with incident pancreatic cancer and 652 hospital control subjects.We ...

Estimation and inference for the population attributable risk in the presence of misclassification. [PDF]

Biostatistics, 2021
Summary Because it describes the proportion of disease cases that could be prevented if an exposure were entirely eliminated from a target population as a result of an intervention, estimation of the population attributable risk (PAR) has become an important goal of public health research. In epidemiologic studies, categorical covariates
