Maltreatment in childhood substantially increases the risk of adult depression and anxiety in prospective cohort studies: systematic review, meta-analysis, and proportional attributable fractions (2015, background): “It indicates that the proportion of people with a disease in a population that is potentially attributable to a given risk factor assuming that there is a causal relationship (Benichou, 2001).”
Prevalence and Predictors of Intense, Chronic, and Disabling Neck and Back Pain in the UK General Population (2003, methodology): “The (population) attributable fraction was calculated using the “aflogit” command, which estimates the proportion of cases in the population that can be attributed to a factor (or group of factors) having adjusted for covariates.(20,21)”
Economic Costs of Diabetes in the U.S. in 2012 (2013, methodology): “For nursing/ residential facility use (which is not captured in the MEPS) and for cost components that rely on analysis of medical encounter data (hospital inpatient, emergency care, and ambulatory visits), we use an attributed risk methodology often used in disease-burden studies that relies on pop”
Proportion and number of cancer cases and deaths attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors in the United States (2018, methodology): “The number of cancer cases and deaths attributable to each risk factor by sex was calculated by multiplying the number of cancer cases or deaths in each sex and age group by the PAF in that sex and age group, and summing the results over age.(45) The above approximate formula was used for all associ”
Cost-of-illness studies: concepts, scopes, and methods (2014, background): “It occurs when the magnitude of the effect of the primary exposure on an outcome differs depending on the level of a third variable.(31,32) In this situation, computing an overall estimate of association or causality sometimes leads to misinterpretation.”
Efficacy and Tolerability of Long-Acting Injectable Naltrexone for Alcohol Dependence: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2005, background): “It is important to adjust relative risk estimates for confounding factors such as age and smoking that are associated with obesity and mortality.(8,9) When relative risks are adjusted for confounding factors, the use of properly adjusted estimators of attributable risk is necessary to avoid bias.”
