Bipartite Causal Inference with Interference

Statistical Science, 2021
Statistical methods to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions are increasingly challenged by the inherent interconnectedness of units. Specifically, a recent flurry of methods research has addressed the problem of interference between observations, which arises when one observational unit's outcome depends not only on its treatment but also the ...

Causal Inference in Audiovisual Perception [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020
In our natural environment the senses are continuously flooded with a myriad of signals. To form a coherent representation of the world, the brain needs to integrate sensory signals arising from a common cause and segregate signals coming from separate causes.

Safety and Effectiveness of a High‐Dose, Tailored Tissue Plasminogen Activator Therapy Protocol: A Joint Pediatric Hematology and Cardiac ICU Quality Improvement Initiative Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric thromboembolism is increasingly encountered in critical care. Systemic thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) facilitates vessel or valve patency, yet pediatric‐specific protocols remain undefined, and safety concerns persist. Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a tailored, prolonged systemic tPA

Survival After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Diamond–Blackfan Anemia Syndrome: The Role of Iron Overload—A Systematic Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We assessed the effect of iron overload (IO) on mortality and complications following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with Diamond–Blackfan anemia syndrome (DBAS) in a systematic review of individual participant data and cohort data from observational studies.
