Abstract

Abstract Distributed data networks (DDNs) with horizontally partitioned datasets are viable resources for multicenter research studies and pharmacosurveillance. Within DDNs, maintaining confidentiality and limiting the disclosure of sensitive information is critical. Consequently, data sharing between partners within the same network is either restricted or completely prohibited during statistical modeling. Current privacy-preserving methods for logistic regression span two extreme paradigms: meta-analysis (MA), which combines estimates based on partner-specific estimates, is convenient for the analytical center (AC) but requires separate implementations of the analysis by each data node; while distributed regression (DR), which provides overall estimates based on partner-specific data summaries, produces rigorous solutions but is an iterative process that is both time and resource consuming. A practical middle ground that combines the convenience of MA and the rigor of DR is lacking. We propose a likelihood-based approach for logistic regression modeling that combines the rigor of DR and the convenience of MA. The two-stage approach has an equivalent estimation performance as DR but foregoes its multiple iterative steps through an MA update step, and is therefore more user-friendly. The approach uses only aggregate-level covariates to estimate a starting pooled effect estimate and within-node data summaries for a single-shot update of the pooled estimate without requiring individual covariate values at the AC. We call the approach hybrid Pooled Logistic Regression (hPoLoR) and show that it conveniently provides accurate and efficient estimates of the standard individual-level log odds ratios and standard errors without revealing personal data. Hence hPoLoR provides a rigorous yet convenient and application-friendly alternative to MA and DR. The method is demonstrated through extensive simulations and application to the JCUSH data.
