Effectiveness of Arterial Closure Devices for Preventing Complications With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: An Instrumental Variable Analysis.
BACKGROUND Bleeding is associated with poor outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Although arterial closure devices (ACDs) are widely used in clinical practice, whether they are effective in reducing bleeding complications during transfemoral PCI is uncertain. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ACDs for the prevention of vascular access site comp...
متن کاملBias and Bias Correction in Multi-Site Instrumental Variables Analysis Of Heterogeneous Mediator Effects
We explore the use of instrumental variables (IV) analysis with a multi-site randomized trial to estimate the effect of a mediating variable on an outcome in cases where it can be assumed that the observed mediator is the only mechanism linking treatment assignment to outcomes, as assumption known in the instrumental variables literature as the exclusion restriction. We use a random-coefficient...
متن کاملInstrumental variable analysis.
The main advantage of the randomized controlled trial (RCT) is the random assignment of treatment that prevents selection by prognosis. Nevertheless, only few RCTs can be performed given their high cost and the difficulties in conducting such studies. Therefore, several analytical methods for removing the effects of selection bias in observational studies have been proposed. The first aim of th...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Analysis of Single Item Preventive Maintenance Strategies
This work addresses the problem of finding the minimal-cost preventive maintenance schedule for a single item. We develop an optimization algorithm that reduces the computational effort to find the optimal schedule. This approach relies on the item having an increasing failure rate, which is typical, and employs a Gibbs sampling algorithm to simulate from the failure rate distribution using rea...
متن کاملNonparametric Regression using Bayesian Variable Selection
This paper estimates an additive model semiparametrically, while automatically selecting the significant independent variables and the app~opriatc power transformation of the dependent variable. The nonlinear variables arc modeled as regression splincs, with significant knots selected fiom a large number of candidate knots. The estimation is made robust by modeling the errors as a mixture of no...
