Confounder Associations in Schistosomiasis Studies by Diagnostic Modality

A small dataset of 9.5 KB shows the direction of associations between common confounders and study outcomes in schistosomiasis research. It was authored by Bethany Lyne and last updated on May 27, 2026. The data is stratified by schistosome infection diagnostic modality and whether analyses were adjusted or unadjusted.

Use Cases

• Compare the influence of confounders based on the diagnostic modality used for schistosome infection.
• Assess the effect of statistical adjustment on the reported direction of associations between confounders and outcomes.
• Inform study design by identifying common confounding factors in schistosomiasis research.
• Perform meta-research on methodological reporting in parasitology studies.

Strengths

• Data is stratified by two key methodological factors: diagnostic modality and adjustment status.
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• The file size is 9.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable scope.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
