Investigating the causal effects of multiple treatments using longitudinal data: a simulation study
使用纵向数据研究多种治疗的因果效应:一项模拟研究
Many clinical questions involve estimating the effects of multiple treatments using observational data. When using longitudinal data, the interest is often in the effect of treatment strategies that involve sustaining treatment over time. This requires causal inference methods appropriate for handling multiple treatments and time-dependent confounding. Robins Generalised methods (g-methods) are a family of methods which can deal with time-dependent confounding and some of…
