The z-difference can be used to measure covariate balance in matched propensity score analyses.
OBJECTIVES The propensity score (PS) method is increasingly used to assess treatment effects in nonrandomized trials. Although there are several methods to use the PS for analysis, matching treated and untreated patients by the PS is recommended by most researchers among other reasons because this allows assessing covariate balance before and after matching. Although the standardized difference...
متن کاملCovariate selection in high-dimensional propensity score analyses of treatment effects in small samples.
To reduce bias by residual confounding in nonrandomized database studies, the high-dimensional propensity score (hd-PS) algorithm selects and adjusts for previously unmeasured confounders. The authors evaluated whether hd-PS maintains its capabilities in small cohorts that have few exposed patients or few outcome events. In 4 North American pharmacoepidemiologic cohort studies between 1995 and ...
متن کاملCovariate balancing propensity score
The propensity score plays a central role in a variety of causal inference settings. In particular, matching and weighting methods based on the estimated propensity score have become increasingly common in the analysis of observational data. Despite their popularity and theoretical appeal, the main practical difficulty of these methods is that the propensity score must be estimated. Researchers...
متن کاملSurvival outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma resection with postoperative complications – a propensity-score-matched analysis
Curative resection remains the only hope of cure for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but postoperative complications can have a significant impact on long-term survival. However, only scarce data on such impact can be found in the literature.This retrospective study reviewed the prospectively collected data of patients who underwent primary liver resection for HCC at our hospital during the per...
متن کاملComment: Analyzing propensity score matched count data.
We offer an explanation to the simulation result of Austin (2009) regarding rate ratios, and argue that unmatched analysis of propensity score matched count data results in conservative statistical inferences on the rate ratios.
