The tone remains professional and focused, which suggests a shared understanding of the importance of methodological rigor but limited emotional investment in immediate impact.

EngagementModerate engagement

Comments provide overviews of the article’s content and relate it to broader practices in epidemiology, indicating a moderate level of engagement.

ImpactNeutral impact

While some posts highlight the significance of methodological improvements, few suggest they believe this review will lead to immediate major changes, resulting in a neutral impact score.

Abstract in brief

The review analyzed epidemiological studies from 2015 and found that many still used variable selection methods like stepwise and univariate analyses, which can introduce bias and lead to poor conclusions.
Although new methods like using prior knowledge or causal diagrams are being employed, they remain less common, and many studies lacked enough detail to fully understand their variable selection process.
Overall, the study suggests that there is still significant room for improvement in both the methods and reporting practices of variable selection in epidemiological research.]

RT @Yosuke_INOUE: 分野のお作法として単変量→多変量が使われている場合もあるけど、単変量で有意だったものだけをモデルに入れることは私はおすすめしていません。 4大疫学ジャーナルでの変数選択についてレビューしたこの論文は参考になるかも。 https://t.co…
