Head to head comparison of the propensity score and the high-dimensional propensity score matching methods.
BACKGROUND Comparative performance of the traditional propensity score (PS) and high-dimensional propensity score (hdPS) methods in the adjustment for confounding by indication remains unclear. We aimed to identify which method provided the best adjustment for confounding by indication within the context of the risk of diabetes among patients exposed to moderate versus high potency statins. M...
متن کاملPropensity Score-matching Methods for Nonexperimental Causal Studies
This paper considers causal inference and sample selection bias in nonexperimental settings in which (i) few units in the nonexperimental comparison group are comparable to the treatment units, and (ii) selecting a subset of comparison units similar to the treatment units is difficult because units must be compared across a high-dimensional set of pretreatment characteristics. We discuss the us...
متن کاملConsequences of Traffic Accidents Transferred by Helicopter and Ground Ambulance: Propensity Score Matching
Introduction: The main task of the emergency medical system is to provide primary care and transfer the injured to a medical center. Studies have been conducted to investigate the outcome of helicopter and ground ambulance casualties, but they show different results. These different results may be due to the type of study, statistical methods, differences in pre-hospital emergency systems, an...
متن کاملA Propensity Score Matching Analysis
The purpose of this paper is to determine how much is the “bonus” or “prize” to the sales per worker of Internet-using firms compared to not Internet-using firms. The author employs matching techniques based on an Argentinean database. The author first presents a binary logit model, in which the dependent variable is a dichotomous variable equal to 1 if the firm adopted Internet and 0 otherwise...
متن کاملPropensity score matching and complex surveys
Researchers are increasingly using complex population-based sample surveys to estimate the effects of treatments, exposures and interventions. In such analyses, statistical methods are essential to minimize the effect of confounding due to measured covariates, as treated subjects frequently differ from control subjects. Methods based on the propensity score are increasingly popular. Minimal res...
