基于潜在获益的干预效应

研究问题
干预能力有限时,如何结合处理效应大小与自然选择次优处理的倾向,确定干预优先对象并衡量可实现的获益?
方法与思路
作者定义条件潜在获益,推导受预算约束的最优处理规则和相对无约束规则的损失,并提出非参数估计方法。
材料陈述的贡献
摘要称,在所述资源约束情境下按条件潜在获益排序可最大化平均结果,并给出识别条件、估计及重症转入应用。
阅读关注点
应核对自然处理选择与最优处理的定义、预算约束形式,以及识别假设和稳健高效估计的成立条件。
阅读边界
这是 arXiv 预印本,同行评审及期刊接收未核实;摘要未列充分识别假设,最优排序结论限于文中所述约束情境。

原文摘要

Optimal treatment rules are mappings from individual patient characteristics to tailored treatment assignments that maximize mean outcomes. In this work, we introduce a conditional potential benefit (CPB) metric that measures the expected improvement under an optimally chosen treatment compared to the status quo, within covariate strata. The potential benefit combines (i) the magnitude of the treatment effect, and (ii) the propensity for subjects to naturally select a suboptimal treatment. As a consequence, heterogeneity in the CPB can provide key insights into the mechanism by which a treatment acts and/or highlight potential barriers to treatment access or adverse effects. Moreover, we demonstrate that CPB is the natural prioritization score for individualized treatment policies when intervention capacity is constrained. That is, in the resource-limited setting where treatment options are freely accessible, but the ability to intervene on a portion of the target population is constrained (e.g., if the population is large, and follow-up and encouragement of treatment uptake is labor-intensive), targeting subjects with highest CPB maximizes the mean outcome. Focusing on this resource-limited setting, we derive formulas for optimal constrained treatment rules, and for any given budget, quantify the loss compared to the optimal unconstrained rule. We describe sufficient identification assumptions, and propose nonparametric, robust, and efficient estimators of the proposed quantities emerging from our framework. Finally, we illustrate our methodology using data from a prospective cohort study in which we assess the impact of intensive care unit transfer on mortality.
