Assessing Lead Time of Selected Ovarian Cancer Biomarkers: A Nested Case–Control Study
BACKGROUND CA125, human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), mesothelin, B7-H4, decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), and spondin-2 have been identified as potential ovarian cancer biomarkers. Except for CA125, their behavior in the prediagnostic period has not been evaluated. METHODS Immunoassays were used to determine concentrations of CA125, HE4, mesothelin, B7-H4, DcR3, and spondin-2 proteins in prediagnostic ...
متن کاملSampling strategies in nested case-control studies.
A stratified version of nested case-control sampling which we call "countermatching" is presented. This design uses data available for all cohort members to obtain a sample for collecting additional information in a case-control substudy. Hitherto the only stratified sampling design for such studies has involved matching of controls to cases with respect to confounding variables. However, in so...
متن کاملCox regression in nested case-control studies with auxiliary covariates.
Nested case-control (NCC) design is a popular sampling method in large epidemiological studies for its cost effectiveness to investigate the temporal relationship of diseases with environmental exposures or biological precursors. Thomas' maximum partial likelihood estimator is commonly used to estimate the regression parameters in Cox's model for NCC data. In this article, we consider a situati...
متن کاملEfficient estimation in multi-phase case-control studies
In this paper we discuss the analysis of multi-phase, or multi-stage, case-control studies and present an efficient semiparametric maximum-likelihood approach that unifies and extends earlier work, including the seminal case-control paper by Prentice & Pyke (1979) as well as work by Breslow & Cain (1988), Scott & Wild (1997), Breslow & Holubkov (1997), and others. The theoretical derivations ap...
متن کاملSerum biomarkers for assessing glycemic control in diabetes mellitus
Clinical evidence has revealed the association between complications Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and serum glycemic control. Thus, evaluation of the glycemic control status is crucial in the management of DM. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is the most common method for monitoring serum glycemic control. However, several confounding factors including red blood cell lifespan and hemoglobinopathies can affect ...
