Have you ever considered applying the parametric g-computation for time-to-event data to explore sensitive windows of exposure to environmental factors and adverse pregnancy outcomes? In this paper, we demonstrate how by examining the association between PM2.5 and preterm birth.

Researchers at Fox Chase & Lewis Katz School of Medicine have identified factors that, if addressed, could decrease incidence of aggressive prostate cancer in areas where rates are highest. Read more from the study's principal investigator, Shannon Lynch, PhD, MPH: bit.ly/3Ad94fB
