Objective
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that perfluorinated alkylate substance (PFAS) exposures are associated with body weight increases in a dietary intervention study.
Methods
In the DioGenes trial, adults with obesity first lost at least 8% of their body weight and then completed at least 26 weeks on a specific diet. Concentrations of five major PFASs were assessed in...
Several studies for the clinical validity of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in metastatic breast cancer were conducted showing that it is a prognostic biomarker of overall survival. In this work, we consider an individual patient data meta‐analysis for nonmetastatic breast cancer to assess the discrimination of CTCs regarding the risk of death. Data are collected in several centers and present correlated...
Recommendations for the analysis of competing risks in the context of randomized clinical trials are well established. Meta‐analysis of individual patient data (IPD) is the gold standard for synthesizing evidence for clinical interpretation based on multiple studies. Surprisingly, no formal guidelines have been yet proposed to conduct an IPD meta‐analysis with competing risk endpoints. To fill this...
