The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships between sex, thermal injury, body size, and inpatient mortality in burn patients. METHODS Medical records of adults with >20% total body surface area (TBSA) burn injury admitted to two American Bur...

Methods for propensity score analysis (PSA) originated with Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983), as vehicles to sharpen and clarify treatment group comparisons in observational studies. Although highly recommended by many statisticians, and applied often in medical sciences, PSA has seen relatively few applications in the social and behavioral sciences. This paper aims to facilitate sound PSA applicatio...
متن کاملPropensity score based data analysis
For some time, propensity score (PS) based methods have been frequently applied in the analysis of observational and registry data. The PS is the conditional probability of a certain treatment given patient’s covariates. PS methods are used to eliminate imbalances in baseline covariate distributions between treatment groups and permit to estimate marginal effects. The package nonrandom is a too...
متن کاملA population-based propensity score matching analysis
Background: Previous studies suggested an impaired endothelial function in patients with diabetes. However, the validity of this finding may be limited by the lack of adequate adjustment for further cardiovascular confounders. We assessed endothelial function as measured by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery in patients with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes in comparison with n...
