Early exposure to the combined measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and thimerosal-containing vaccines and risk of autism spectrum disorder.
TL;DR: No convincing evidence was found in this study that MMR vaccination and increasing thimerosal dose were associated with an increased risk of ASD onset, and no significant differences were found between cases and controls at any age.
Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE): Explanation and Elaboration
14 Jul 2022
TL;DR: The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Statement as mentioned in this paper was developed by a group of methodologists, researchers, and editors to improve the quality of reporting of observational studies.
Vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella in children
TL;DR: The highest risk of association with aseptic meningitis was observed within the third week after immunisation with Urabe-containing MMR, and no studies assessing the effectiveness of MMR in preventing rubella were identified.

Meta-Analysis in Clinical Trials*
TL;DR: This paper examines eight published reviews each reporting results from several related trials in order to evaluate the efficacy of a certain treatment for a specified medical condition and suggests a simple noniterative procedure for characterizing the distribution of treatment effects in a series of studies.

Nathan Mantel,William Haenszel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role and limitations of retrospective investigations of factors possibly associated with the occurrence of a disease are discussed and their relationship to forward-type studies emphasized, and examples of situations in which misleading associations could arise through the use of inappropriate control groups are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a consecutive series of children with chronic enterocolitis and regressive developmental disorder, and identified associated gastrointestinal disease and developmental regression in a group of previously normal children, which was generally associated in time with possible environmental triggers.

Autism and measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine: no epidemiological evidence for a causal association
Brent Taylor,Elizabeth Miller,CPaddy Farrington,Maria-Christina Petropoulos,Isabelle Favot-Mayaud,Jun Li,Pauline Waight +6 more
TL;DR: The authors' analyses do not support a causal association between MMR vaccine and autism, and it is suggested that if such an association occurs, it is so rare that it could not be identified in this large regional sample.

TL;DR: A retrospective cohort study of all children born in Denmark from January 1991 through December 1998 finds that vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a cause of autism.
