Tree-based Subgroup Discovery In Electronic Health Records: Heterogeneity of Treatment Effects for DTG-containing Therapies
电子健康记录中的树式亚组发现:含 DTG 疗法的治疗效应异质性
The rich longitudinal individual level data available from electronic health records (EHRs) can be used to examine treatment effect heterogeneity. However, estimating treatment effects using EHR data poses several challenges, including time-varying confounding, repeated and temporally non-aligned measurements of covariates, treatment assignments and outcomes, and loss-to-follow-up due to dropout. Here, we develop the Subgroup Discovery for Longitudinal Data (SDLD) algorithm,…
