Shifting health care use from hospitalizations and surgeries to outpatient visits in children with inflammatory bowel disease: a population-based cohort study from Ontario, Canada.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report trends over time in health services utilization and surgery for children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and children without IBD and report the annual percentage change with 95% confidence intervals (CI) in the rate of outpatient visits, emergency department (ED) visits, and hospitalizations using negative binomial regression for events within 5 years from the diagnosis/index date.

Operating characteristics of a rank correlation test for publication bias.

TL;DR: In this paper, an adjusted rank correlation test is proposed as a technique for identifying publication bias in a meta-analysis, and its operating characteristics are evaluated via simulations, and the test statistic is a direct statistical analogue of the popular funnel-graph.
