Propensity score matching with missing covariates via iterated, sequential multiple imputation

, 2011
In many observational studies, analysts estimate causal effects using propensity score matching. Estimation of propensity scores is complicated when covariate values intended for collection are in fact missing. To handle the missing data, one approach is

Impact of Six‐Month Monitoring Compared to Three‐Month Monitoring of Laboratories During Methotrexate Therapy

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To evaluate whether extending the American College of Rheumatology–recommended monitoring interval for complete blood count and liver function tests in patients receiving methotrexate (MTX) affects timely detection of medication‐related toxicity.

On the existence of the true value of a probability. Part I: Determinism versus aleatorism [PDF]

Objetivist models are based on the deterministic hypothesis that postulates the existence of probability, which is cognoscible only in an asymptotic manner.

A data-driven measure of REM sleep propensity for human and rodent sleep

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionMammalian sleep is characterized by alternations between episodes of rapid-eye-movement sleep (REMS) and non-REM sleep (NREMS). The phenomenon of REMS pressure, namely a drive for REMS that builds up between REMS episodes, is thought to ...

Gender differences in risk assessment [PDF]

Judgment and Decision Making, 2006
Across many real-world domains, men engage in more risky behaviors than do women. To examine some of the beliefs and preferences that underlie this difference, 657 participants assessed their likelihood of engaging in various risky activities relating to

Real‐World Safety of Concomitant Colchicine and Statin Therapy

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the risk of clinically meaningful muscle‐ and liver‐related outcomes associated with concomitant colchicine–statin therapy in a real‐world setting, and to determine whether concomitant therapy increases the incidence of toxicity compared with either agent alone.

Unsupervised Machine Learning Identifies Shared Biomechanical and Clinical Variation in Individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis and High Body Mass Index

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective High body mass index (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2) and aberrant gait biomechanics are primary risk factors for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), yet the specific loading patterns linked to clinical disease features remain unclear. Unsupervised machine learning (ML) was used to identify vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) waveform modes of variation and ...

Oral glucocorticoids added to ILD‐modifying therapy in systemic sclerosis‐associated interstitial lung disease: a target trial emulation study from the EUSTAR database.

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives We aimed to estimate whether adding oral glucocorticoids to ILD‐modifying therapy improves 12‐month lung outcomes in systemic sclerosis‐associated interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD). Methods We emulated a target trial using the EUSTAR database.
