From an epidemiological perspective, estimates and confidence intervals and unadjusted screening tests (relative risks or odds ratios) may be more useful than technically more advanced multivariable statistical analyses. This is particularly the case in the early stages of a complex disease investigation. Over time as more carefully planned studies are designed and implemented then advanced analyses may be more appropriate but these will generally take time to plan and perform.
