3 To Investigate an Association Between an Exposure and Human Health Impact Need Exposure - environmental levels - personal monitoring Toxicology - mechanisms Human health effects - epidemiology - volunteer studies - public health impact to Consider
4 What Makes a Good Critical Review? Clear presentation of the question Clear presentation of how review conducted Accuracy of data reported Scientific rigor data, argument Clarity and transparency presentation, argument Clear conclusion
5 Conduct of Review Like any other scientific effort should be reproducible Establish scope at outset Systematic and recorded literature searches and other methods of obtaining information Criteria for selection and inclusion of studies Criteria for reporting/summarising studies
6 What Data to Use As far as possible should be available to reader Peer-reviewed Publicly available In final form Source identified
7 Evaluating and Summarising Individual Studies Rigorous scientific presentation of data Clear explanation (even of first principles if necessary) Constructive criticism (include what is good and relevant)
8 Description of Human Study Where When Study population Reference populations/controls Exposure Study design Basic data numbers of cases observed /expected, exposed / unexposed Outcomes, variables Statistical methods
9 Exposure Data Clear description of agent(s) Past, present, possibly projections of future exposure Details of how exposures measured Temporal and spatial differences and trends Applicability of exposure measurements to individuals/populations of concern (time and place) Fate, behaviour, persistence, bioaccumulation Regulations,controls, guidelines
10 Toxicological Data Relevant experimental studies Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics Mechanisms
11 Presentation of Individual Study Summaries Group in a logical structured way Time Place Study Type Health Outcome Exposure variable Confounders Statistical methods Results Biases Which studies are relevant to an evaluation of causality?
12 Evidence for Causality Strength of association Consistency Exposure-response Weighing the evidence Expert judgement Quantitative methods
