, 2020 , Article)
Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare life-threatening complication associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD). EPS is characterized by progressive fibrosis and sclerosis of the peritoneum, with the formation ...
Association between response rates and monetary incentives in sample study: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
(
BMJ Publishing Group
, 2020 , Article)
To investigate the effect of monetary incentive and the dose-response relationship of participants' response rates in surveys. Three databases were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the ...
Laplace approximation, penalized quasi-likelihood, and adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature for generalized linear mixed models: Towards meta-analysis of binary outcome with sparse data
(
BMC
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020 The Author(s). Background: In meta-analyses of a binary outcome, double zero events in some studies cause a critical methodology problem. The generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) has been proposed as a valid ...

(
BJBMS
, 2020 , Article)
Dishevelled family proteins (DVL1, DVL2, and DVL3) are cytoplasmic proteins that are involved in canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway during embryonic development. The role of DVL proteins in the placental ...
Dynamic incorporation of multiple in silico functional annotations empowers rare variant association analysis of large whole-genome sequencing studies at scale
(
Nature Research
, 2020 , Article)
Large-scale whole-genome sequencing studies have enabled the analysis of rare variants (RVs) associated with complex phenotypes. Commonly used RV association tests have limited scope to leverage variant functions. We propose ...
