结合倾向得分匹配与预后协变量的额外调整
- 研究问题
- 观察性研究中，如何将倾向得分匹配与重要预后协变量的直接匹配或回归调整结合，以改善组间平衡及结局比较？
- 方法与思路
- 作者推导同时使用估计线性倾向得分和指定预后协变量时匹配样本的协变量分布近似，并展示多种调整组合。

- 摘要称，论文扩展匹配后协变量分布的近似结果，示例中组合策略比仅关注少数预后变量或未匹配回归调整表现更好。
- 阅读关注点
- 核对线性倾向得分方法的分布近似条件、重要变量的选择方式，以及匹配、Mahalanobis 距离和回归调整的组合步骤。
- 阅读边界
- 仅据版本未注明的 OpenAlex 索引摘要；所述优势依赖示例与适用条件，匹配只能平衡观测协变量，不能据此排除未观测混杂。
原文摘要
Propensity score matching refers to a class of multivariate methods used in comparative studies to construct treated and matched control samples that have similar distributions on many covariates. This matching is the observational study analog of randomization in ideal experiments, but is far less complete as it can only balance the distribution of observed covariates, whereas randomization balances the distribution of all covariates, both observed and unobserved. An important feature of propensity score matching is that it can be easily combined with model-based regression adjustments or with matching on a subset of special prognostic covariates or combinations of prognostic covariates that have been identified as being especially predictive of the outcome variables. We extend earlier results by developing approximations for the distributions of covariates in matched samples created with linear propensity score methods for the practically important situation where matching uses both the estimated linear propensity scores and a set of special prognostic covariates. Such matching on a subset of special prognostic covariates is an observational study analog of blocking in a randomized experiment. An example combining propensity score matching with Mahalanobis metric matching and regression adjustment is presented that demonstrates the flexibility of these methods for designing an observational study that effectively reduces both bias due to many observed covariates and bias and variability due to a more limited subset of covariates. Of particular importance, the general approach, which includes propensity score matching, was distinctly superior to methods that focus only on a subset of the prognostically most important covariates, even if those covariates account for most of the variation in the outcome variables. Also of importance, analyses based on matched samples were superior to those based on the full unmatched samples, even when regression adjustment was included.
