Aim and content This is a generic course. This means that the course is reserved for PhD students at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at the Graduate School, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. After the enrolment deadline, available seats will be allocated to the waiting list. The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at NorDoc member faculties. All other participants must pay the course fee Aim and learning objectives The course builds on the Ph.D.-course: “Epidemiological methods in medical research”, however, it is not a formal requirement to have completed that course. The purpose is to give an introduction to more advanced statistical methods frequently applied in epidemiological studies. After completing the course the participants will: • be able to analyse data from classical cohort studies using Poisson or Cox regression and data from case-control studies using ordinary or conditional logistic regression • know about the advantages of using cohort data sampled as a nested case-control study or a case-cohort study • know about methods to account for competing risks and recurrent events in follow-up studies • know about the basic concepts for causal inference Content Repetition of logistic regression, Poisson regression, and Cox regression. Time-dependent exposure variables. Conditional logistic regression for matched case-control studies. Alternative designs of cohort studies: Nested case-control- and case-cohort studies. The case-cross-over and case-time-control designs. Competing risks. Recurrent events. Introduction to causal inference. Textbook: D. Clayton & M. Hills (1993). Statistical Models in Epidemiology.
