Survey of practices of handling exposure measurement errors in modern epidemiology: are the best practices in statistics being adopted by epidemiologists?

Modern epidemiological research shows improved handling and interpretation of EME, while some concerns persist. For instance, the epidemiological literature indicates that it is still resistant to adoption of state-of-the-art methods for managing measurement errors. We recommend that the practice of qualitatively discussing the impact of measurement error in exposure in epidemiology be replaced with modern developments in statistics and comprehensively accounted for.

Abstract

Modern epidemiological research shows improved handling and interpretation of EME, while some concerns persist. For instance, the epidemiological literature indicates that it is still resistant to adoption of state-of-the-art methods for managing measurement errors. We recommend that the practice of qualitatively discussing the impact of measurement error in exposure in epidemiology be replaced with modern developments in statistics and comprehensively accounted for.
