Delayed Exposures and Pre‐Exposure Periods in Self‐Controlled Case Series Studies

Statistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 10-12, May 2026.
ABSTRACT A key assumption of the self‐controlled case series (SCCS) method is that exposures should not depend on the event of interest. However, treatments such as vaccines may be deferred after an adverse health event. One suggestion to handle such delayed exposures is to include a pre‐exposure window in the SCCS model.
