Power calculator for instrumental variable analysis in pharmacoepidemiology
Background Instrumental variable analysis, for example with physicians' prescribing preferences as an instrument for medications issued in primary care, is an increasingly popular method in the field of pharmacoepidemiology. Existing power calculators for studies using instrumental variable analysis, such as Mendelian randomization power calculators, do not allow for the structure of research q...

15 صفحه اولInstrumental 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 کاملInstrumental Variable Analyses in Pharmacoepidemiology: What Target Trials Do We Emulate?
Purpose of review When leveraging observational data to estimate treatment effects, it is useful to explicitly specify the "target trial" the investigators aspire to emulate. One concern is whether a proposed analysis plan can address the realities of the differences between the available non-randomized observational study and the target trial. When large or unknown sources of unmeasured confou...
متن کاملAnalysis of Additive Instrumental Variable Models
We apply Bayesian methods to a model involving a binary endogenous regressor and an instrumental variable in which the functional forms of some of the covariates in both the treatment assignment and outcome distributions are unknown. Continuous and binary response variables are considered. Under the assumption that the functional form is additive in the covariates, we develop efficient Markov c...
