Response to the “letter to the editor” by Sani Rachman Soleman et al., “spatiotemporal association of low birth weight with Cs-137 deposition at the prefecture level in Japan after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accidents”

1. Ecological variables are not justified enough to adjust potential confounding. 2. The spatiotemporal regression model does not consider temporal reduction in radiation dose rate. 3. Dose-response plot between dose rates and odds ratios overestimates R(2) and underestimates p-value. This criticism...

Dose-response plot between dose rates and odds ratios overestimates R(2) and underestimates p-value. This criticism is a good starting point to explain some of the technical backgrounds of our approach in more detail.
