Journal ArticleDOI
Estimability and estimation in case-referent studies
TL;DR: The concepts that case-referent studies provide for the estimation of "relative risk" only if the illness is "rare", and that the rates and risks themselves are inestimable, are overly superficial and restrictve.

TL;DR: In this article, the 10-year lung cancer-specific survival rate among participants with clinical stage I lung cancer that was detected on CT screening and diagnosed by biopsy, regardless of the type of treatment received, and among those who underwent surgical resection of clinical Stage I cancer within 1 month.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proportion of disease caused or prevented by a given exposure, trait or intervention
TL;DR: It is shown that both parameters depend—in different ways—on the frequency of the marker among cases of the disease, and on the "standardized morbidity ratio" for those with the marker.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative analysis of two rates
TL;DR: This paper examines comparative analysis of rates with a view to each of the usual comparative parameters-rate difference, rate ratio and odds ratio with particular reference to first principles, and stresses the need for restricted estimation of variance in the chi-square function underlying interval estimation.
Journal ArticleDOI
CT Screening for Lung Cancer: Frequency and Significance of Part-Solid and Nonsolid Nodules
Claudia I. Henschke,David F. Yankelevitz,Rosna M Mirtcheva,Georgeann McGuinness,Dorothy I. McCauley,Olli S. Miettinen +5 more
TL;DR: In CT screening for lung cancer, the detected nodule commonly is either only part-solid or nonsolid, but such a nodule is more likely to be malignant than a solid one, even when nodule size is taken into account.
