目标试验模拟中的时间划分

研究问题
利用常规诊疗数据模拟目标试验时,随访时间如何划分才能正确表达处理与结果的反馈,并避免不死时间偏差和时变混杂?
方法与思路
作者列举时间区间内的因果顺序并分别推导 g 公式,结合祖先多世界网络和模拟分析标准克隆、删失、加权估计并提出修正。
材料陈述的贡献
摘要称,处理在区间内影响结果时标准估计方法失效,修正版可恢复有效性,并分析区间过宽或过窄的后果以指导时间划分。
阅读关注点
应核对不同区间内因果顺序的临床可解释性、各自的 g 公式及识别条件,以及修正估计量和时间划分建议的适用范围。
阅读边界
所据为 arXiv 预印本,不能据此认定已同行评审或期刊接收;摘要未完整列出识别条件,也未提供通用的最优时间间隔。

原文摘要

In target trial emulation, the treatment strategies that patients follow are inferred from the treatments they actually receive in routine care. However, in most settings, the outcome may preclude the observation of planned treatment, giving rise to immortal time bias through misclassification of treatment strategy, while markers of treatment response may influence subsequent treatment decisions, giving rise to time-varying confounding. A key step toward unbiased treatment effect estimation is to partition follow-up into sufficiently short time intervals to unfold the feedback relationships involving treatment and represent the resulting causal relations with a directed acyclic graph. In this study, we present the possible within-interval causal orderings induced by this partitioning, discuss their causal implications, and assess their plausibility across clinical settings. For each causal ordering, we derive the corresponding g-formula. Using ancestral multi-world networks and simulations, we show that the standard cloning-censoring-weighting estimator is invalid when treatment affects the outcome within a time interval, and we propose a modified version of the method that restores its validity in this setting. Finally, we analyze the consequences of choosing time intervals that are either excessively wide or excessively narrow, thereby formally establishing the need for time partitioning and providing practical guidance for selecting an appropriate partition based on the clinical setting.
