Nitrofurantoin, an Excellent Empiric Choice for Outpatient Cystitis.
We read the letter from Cortes-Penfield and Trautner (1) and thank them for their interest in our recent paper (2). In our paper, we demonstrated increasing resistance of Escherichia coli to ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) in urinary isolates obtained from adult female outpatients, with the isolates retaining high levels of susceptibility to nitrofurantoin. Using our r...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Arterial Closure Devices for Preventing Complications With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: An Instrumental Variable Analysis.
BACKGROUND Bleeding is associated with poor outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Although arterial closure devices (ACDs) are widely used in clinical practice, whether they are effective in reducing bleeding complications during transfemoral PCI is uncertain. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ACDs for the prevention of vascular access site comp...
متن کاملInstrumental variable analysis.
The main advantage of the randomized controlled trial (RCT) is the random assignment of treatment that prevents selection by prognosis. Nevertheless, only few RCTs can be performed given their high cost and the difficulties in conducting such studies. Therefore, several analytical methods for removing the effects of selection bias in observational studies have been proposed. The first aim of th...
متن کاملAn Economic Analysis of Exclusion Restrictions for Instrumental Variable Estimation
An Economic Analysis of Exclusion Restrictions for Instrumental Variable Estimation Instrumental variable estimation requires untestable exclusion restrictions. With policy effects on individual outcomes, there is typically a time interval between the moment the agent realizes that he may be exposed to the policy and the actual exposure or the announcement of the actual treatment status. In suc...
متن کاملFuel Taxes versus Effi ciency Standards – An Instrumental Variable Approach
Using household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2012, we employ an instrumental variable (IV) approach to estimate fuel price and effi ciency elasticities. The aim is to gauge the relative impacts of fuel economy standards and fuel taxes on distance traveled. We fi nd that the magnitudes of the elasticity estimates are statistically indistinguishable: higher fuel prices ...
