Title: A nested case-control design for longitudinal data
Abstract: Longitudinal regression analysis of cohort study or administrative data can be used to examine the relationship between time-varying exposures and binary (yes/no) response vectors. However, over time, new hypotheses emerge that cannot be addressed with the information collected from the original cohort. For example, electronic medical and pharmacy records can be exploited to capture the effect of a daily, medication dose on the occurrence of daily adverse event symptoms among hospitalized patients; however, if interest lies in a dose by genotype interaction, additional (genotypic) information is required. In such a circumstance, analysis of the entire original cohort may not not feasible due to costs associated with genotyping. In this talk, I will discuss a study design in which individuals are selected based on values in their (binary) response vectors. I will show that with targeted, outcome-dependent sampling, acquisition of genotypic information is necessary on only on a subset of (informative) individuals. In many realistic scenarios, the proposed conditional maximum likelihood estimates based on the subsample are highly efficient relative to maximum likelihood estimates based on the original cohort. Thus, with little to no loss of information, we may conserve study resources considerably.
