Minor differences in haplotype frequency estimates can produce very large differences in heterogeneity test statistics

Abstract Background Tests for association between a haplotype and disease are commonly performed using a likelihood ratio test for heterogeneity between case and control haplotype frequencies.Using data from a study of association between heroin dependence and the DRD2 gene, we obtained estimated haplotype frequencies and the associated likelihood

Characterizing social and policy determinants of hospital length of stay among paediatric inpatients with diabetes using linked population-based data

Background Evidence is limited on the non-medical factors influencing hospital length of stay (LOS) among paediatric inpatients with diabetes, notably potential social and policy correlates.This study aimed to characterize the associations of socioeconomic status and health policy environment with diabetes-attributable LOS to help inform accountabi
