We propose a logistic regression analysis of unmatched or frequency matched case-control studies with conditional maximum likelihood estimation through post hoc stratification. In this model fewer parameters have to be estimated. With a simulation study we show that parameter estimates have smaller

We investigate the possible bias due to an erroneous missing at random assumption if adjusted odds ratios are estimated from incomplete covariate data using the maximum likelihood principle. A relation between complete case estimates and maximum likelihood estimates allows us to identify situations
The role of periconceptional folic acid in the prevention of neural tube defects (NTDs) is well established. However, it is not clear whether a protective effect exists for the subset of nonsyndromic NTD with other "unrelated" major structural birth defects (NTD-multiples). This question is importan
