Congratulations to Research Fellow Michael Chun-Yuan Cheng for Winning the Most Highly Rated Methods Award at the 40th ISPE Annual Meeting
Title of study: Immortal bias from different lengths of grace period in a clone-censor-weight design: a simulation study
PHD center researchers Dr. Miyuki Hsing-Chun Hsieh and Professor Edward Chia-Cheng Lai (et. al.), in collaboration with teams from NeuroGEN (Neurological and mental health Global Epidemiology Network), have published a paper in the Nature Medicine.
Their findings indicate that there is a small-to-moderate association between maternal diabetes mellitus (MDM) and ADHD, whereas the association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and ADHD is unlikely to be causal. This finding contrasts with previous studies, which reported substantially higher risk estimates, and underscores the need to reevaluate the precise roles of hyperglycemia and genetic factors in the relationship between MDM and ADHD.
Congratulations to our master student Wei-Ching Huang and Professor Edward Chia-Cheng Lai for the publication in the British Medical Journal regarding anticholinergic burden and its association with cardiovascular events.
