    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this paper is to present the historical roots of the sufficient component cause model, which is very well known in epidemiology.
    Methods: I have analyzed Max Verworn's writings on the description of the sufficient component cause model.
    Results: Verworn introduced a precursor of the sufficient component cause model as early as 1912, possibly inspired by Ernst Mach. He argued for the abandonment of the concept of "cause" (singular). Instead, he preferred the term "conditions." Unlike Karl Pearson, Verworn was not opposed to causal considerations. However, according to Verworn, every process or state is determined by numerous conditions and not by a single factor or "cause." Instead of speaking of causalism, Verworn preferred to speak of conditionalism.
    Conclusions: The earliest description of the concept of the sufficient component cause model known in the epidemiological literature since 1976 dates back at least to 1912.

    Abstract Background: For a number of reasons, the cause-of-death statistics of the city of Hamburg are one of the most valid sources of data for the study of secular trends in cancer mortality in Germany. In this article, cancer mortality in Hamburg over the period 1872-2019 is presented.
    Methods: The sex-specific, raw, age-standardized (according to the world standard population), and age-specific cancer mortality rates for Hamburg, the German Empire, and the Federal Republic of Germany were determined from a variety of sources. The percentage of persons aged 60 and above in Hamburg was determined for the periods 1895-1950 and 1956-2019.
    Results: Raw cancer mortality rates rose in Hamburg from 1872 onward. After standardization for age, cancer mortality rates were nearly constant from 1905 to 1951. In contrast, age-standardized cancer mortality in Germany overall rose over the years 1905-1934, reaching the same level as Hamburg only in 1933. From 1951 onward, cancer mortality rose among men in Hamburg, reaching a maximum of 205 per 100 000 in 1967 and thereafter continually decreasing, down to a value of 120 per 100 000 in 2019. In women, cancer mortality was nearly constant from 1905 to 1958 and then fell continually until 2019 (85 per 100 000). The percentage of persons aged 60 or above was only 6% in 1895, 17% in 1950, and 23% in 2019.
    Conclusion: The high validity of cause-of-death statistics in Hamburg enabled an estimation of secular trends in cancer mortality. A steady decline in cancer mortality in all age groups and in both sexes was found in Hamburg, beginning in approximately 1990 at the latest.

    Title translation Schätzungen der Übersterblichkeit während der COVID-19-Pandemie hängen stark von subjektiven methodischen Entscheidungen ab.
    Abstract Excess mortality is often used to assess the health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It involves comparing the number of deaths observed during the pandemic with the number of deaths that would counterfactually have been expected in the absence of the pandemic. However, published data on excess mortality often vary even for the same country. The reason for these discrepancies is that the estimation of excess mortality involves a number of subjective methodological choices. The aim of this paper was to summarize these subjective choices. In several publications, excess mortality was overestimated because population aging was not adjusted for. Another important reason for different estimates of excess mortality is the choice of different pre-pandemic reference periods that are used to estimate the expected number of deaths (e.g., only 2019 or 2015-2019). Other reasons for divergent results include different choices of index periods (e.g., 2020 or 2020-2021), different modeling to determine expected mortality rates (e.g., averaging mortality rates from previous years or using linear trends), the issue of accounting for irregular risk factors such as heat waves and seasonal influenza, and differences in the quality of the data used. We suggest that future studies present the results not only for a single set of analytic choices, but also for sets with different analytic choices, so that the dependence of the results on these choices becomes explicit.

    Abstract Objective: To examine the time trend of statistical inference, statistical reporting style of results, and effect measures from the abstracts of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
    Study desgin and settings: We downloaded 385,867 PubMed abstracts of RCTs from 1975 to 2021. We used text-mining to detect reporting of statistical inference (p-values, confidence intervals, significance terminology), statistical reporting style of results, and effect measures for binary outcomes, including time-to-event measures. We validated the text mining algorithms by random samples of abstracts.
    Results: A total of 320 676 abstracts contained statistical inference. The percentage of abstracts including statistical inference increased from 65% (1975) to 87% (2006) and then decreased slightly. From 1975 to 1990, the sole reporting of language regarding statistical significance was predominant. Since 1990, reporting of p-values without confidence intervals has been the most common reporting style. Reporting of confidence intervals increased from 0.5% (1975) to 29% (2021). The two most common effect measures for binary outcomes were hazard ratios and odds ratios. Number needed to treat and number needed to harm are reported in less than 5% of abstracts with binary endpoints.
    Conclusions: Reporting of statistical inference in abstracts of RCTs has increased over time. Increasingly, p-values and confidence intervals are reported rather than just mentioning the presence of "statistical significance". The reporting of odds ratios comes with the liability that the untrained reader will interpret them as risk ratios, which is often not justified, especially in RCTs.
