Visual Analytics of Missing Data in Epidemiological Cohort Studies
[article]
2017
Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biomedicine
Our solution is based on general approaches to handle missing values, but is fine-tuned to the problems in epidemiological cohort study data. ...
The most severe missingness problem in these data is the considerable dropout rate in longitudinal studies that limits the power of statistical analysis and the validity of study findings. ...
Related Work This section provides an overview of related works for imputation techniques of clinical and epidemiological data, the visual analysis of cohort studies and missing data visualizations. ...

Interactive Visual Analysis of Lumbar Back Pain - What the Lumbar Spine Tells About Your Life
2015
Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Information Visualization Theory and Applications
Recently, these cohort studies comprise medical image data. We assess potential relations between image-derived variables of the lumbar spine with lower back pain in a cross-sectional study. ...
However, the presented approach is a valuable extension for the IVA of epidemiological data. Hence, relations between non-image variables were successfully detected and described. ...
Cohort studies are an instrument of epidemiological research. We analyze back pain, one of the most frequent complaints in the Western civilization. ...

COMETS Analytics: An online tool for analyzing and meta-analyzing metabolomics data in large research consortia
2021
American Journal of Epidemiology
We demonstrated that the application scales well by performing two data analyses in 45 cohort studies that together comprised measurements of 4,647 metabolites in up to 134,742 participants. ...
To address these concerns, we developed COnsortium of METabolomics Studies (COMETS) Analytics to support and streamline consortium-based analyses of metabolomics and other omics data. ...
