Cancer occurrence among women resident in the Gorizia province (North-Eastern Italy). May ecological data be used for adjusted epidemiological measures? Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analysis
Abstract:Background: The evaluation of the confounders is crucial to accurately estimate the association between environmental factors and diseases. The deterministic sensitivity analysis permits an external adjustment of the observed measures of effect. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis allows to define several probability density functions for the bias parameters and to use these prior distributions tocalculate limits for the biasadjusted exposure-disease relative risks. The confounding effect of known risk fact… Show more
