DFW: a novel weighting scheme for covariate balancing and treatment effect estimation
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and StatisticsEstimating causal effects from observational data is challenging due to selection bias, which leads to imbalanced covariate distributions across treatment groups.

On the Monotonicity of a Nondifferentially Mismeasured Binary Confounder
Journal of Causal Inference, 2020 Suppose that we are interested in the average causal effect of a binary treatment on an outcome when this relationship is confounded by a binary confounder. Suppose that the confounder is unobserved but a nondifferential proxy of it is observed.

A confounding bridge approach for double negative control inference on causal effects
Statistical Theory and Related FieldsUnmeasured confounding is a key challenge for causal inference. In this paper, we establish a framework for unmeasured confounding adjustment with negative control variables.

A note on a sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounding, and the related E-value
Journal of Causal Inference, 2020 Unmeasured confounding is one of the most important threats to the validity of observational studies. In this paper we scrutinize a recently proposed sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounding.

Indian Journal of Psychiatry, 2007 Confounding is a statistical concept that is important to all researchers.The concept of confounding is explained with the help of an amusing but true example. Simple explanations about and examples of confounding are provided. Methods to deal with confounding are detailed and their applications and disadvantages are examined.Attention to confounding ...

Results of the Childhood Cancer and Leukaemia Group's United Kingdom Relapsed Wilms Tumour Trial
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The United Kingdom relapsed Wilms tumour (UKW‐R) trial aimed to improve the historically low survival rates after relapse of Wilms tumour (WT) through a prospective national risk‐stratified protocol. The trial also evaluated efficacy and toxicity of high‐dose melphalan.

On the bias of adjusting for a non-differentially mismeasured discrete confounder
Journal of Causal Inference, 2021 Biological and epidemiological phenomena are often measured with error or imperfectly captured in data. When the true state of this imperfect measure is a confounder of an outcome exposure relationship of interest, it was previously widely believed that ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Potential confounding in the association between short birth intervals and increased neonatal, infant, and child mortality [PDF]
Global Health Action, 2015 Background: Recent steep declines in child mortality have been attributed in part to increased use of contraceptives and the resulting change in fertility behaviour, including an increase in the time between births.
