In clinical research, there is a growing interest in the use of propensity score-based methods to estimate causal effects. G-computation is an alternative because of its high statistical power. Machine learning is also increasingly used because of its possible robustness to model misspecification. In this paper, we aimed to propose an approach that...

Refractive errors are common, especially in children and adolescents, leading to global health issues, academic implications and economic costs. Circadian rhythm and sleep habits may play a role. The study included 1130 children from the EDEN birth-cohort. Data were collected through parental questionnaires at age 2 and 5 for sleep duration and tim...

Studies have identified non-linear inverse relationships between physical activity and the risk of stroke. A U-shaped response has been observed between haemorrhagic stroke and physical activity. The objective of this study was to investigate the associations between physical activities on stroke. We used data from the E3N cohort study, a French pr...

Craniopharyngiomas are rare benign brain tumors originating from errors in differentiation during embryogenesis. Given current interest in treatments that target genetic and molecular signatures of specific craniopharyngioma subtypes, updated and comprehensive epidemiologic data of these subtypes are necessary to inform and direct resources. We uti...

The purpose of this study was to estimate the total healthcare cost associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in the population aged 18 years and older in Hungary, and its projection for the year 2045. A cost model was developed based on the standardised rapid assessment of avoidable blindness with the diabetic retinopathy module (RAAB+DRM) methodo...
