The spectre of Berkson's paradox: Collider bias in Covid‐19 research
Notebook Abstract When non‐random sampling collides with our understanding of Covid‐19 risk, we must be careful not to draw incorrect conclusions about cause and effect. By Annie Herbert, Gareth Griffith, Gibran Hemani and Luisa Zuccolo There have been many surprising things written and said about the coronavirus pandemic, but perhaps none more so than the claim that smoking might protect against Covid‐19 infection (bit.ly/2YLudbR).
Collider bias undermines our understanding of COVID-19 disease risk and severity
Abstract Observational data on COVID-19 including hypothesised risk factors for infection and progression are accruing rapidly, often from non-random sampling such as hospital admissions, targeted testing or voluntary participation. Here, we highlight the challenge of interpreting observational evidence from such samples of the population, which may be affected by collider bias.

Are inequalities in cancer diagnosis through emergency presentation narrowing, widening or remaining unchanged? Longitudinal analysis of English population-based data 2006-2013 | Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health
Data We longitudinally analysed population-based ’Routes to Diagnosis' data, on all cancer cases diagnosed at one of 33 different cancer sites, among patients aged 25 years and older in England during 2006–2013.

Diagnostic timeliness in adolescents and young adults with cancer: Cross-sectional findings from the BRIGHTLIGHT cohort
Diagnostic timeliness in adolescents and young adults with cancer: Cross-sectional findings from the BRIGHTLIGHT cohort Annie Herbert, Georgios Lyratzopoulos, Jeremy Whelan, Rachel M Taylor, Julie Barber, Faith Gibson, Lorna A Fern Br J Gen Pract 2018; 68 (suppl 1): bjgp18X696689.

Diagnostic timeliness in adolescents and young adults with cancer: a cross-sectional analysis of the BRIGHTLIGHT cohort
We investigated diagnostic timeliness in AYAs with cancer and examined related variation by sociodemographic characteristic and cancer site. Compared with male AYAs, female AYAs were more likely to have multiple prereferral GP consultations and longer median symptom-onset-to-diagnosis intervals. Further study is needed to understand causes underlying these patterns. There were large variations by cancer site in all aspects of diagnostic timeliness studied.
The Great British Bayes-off: How much difference (statistically) does a soggy bottom make?
Macaroons, Swedish Princess Cake, and… hemp-flavoured bread? These days a simple Victoria sponge won’t cut it. Home baking is enjoying a comeback, and it’s largely thanks to The Great British Bake-off (GBBO), which has proved so popular since its launch in 2010 that it has expanded from six to 10 episodes a series (with the sixth series broadcast this summer), while inspiring copycat versions of the show in a variety of countries, including the USA, Australia, Ireland and France.
Time-trends in rates of hospital admission of adolescents for violent, self-inflicted or drug/alcohol-related injury in England and Scotland, 2005-11: population-based analysis
Background Incidence of emergency admissions for violent injury in 10- to 18-year olds decreased in England and Scotland between 2005 and 2011, but more steeply in Scotland. To generate hypotheses about causes of these differences, we determined whether trends were consistent across admissions for three common types of adversity-related injury (violent, self-inflicted and drug/alcohol-related).
