A Formal Causal Interpretation of the Case-Crossover Design

Zach Shahn, Miguel A. Hernan, James M. Robins

The case-crossover design (Maclure, 1991) is widely used in epidemiology and other fields to study causal effects of transient treatments on acute outcomes. However, its validity a…

gfoRmula: An R package for estimating effects of general time-varying treatment interventions via the parametric g-formula

Victoria Lin, Sean McGrath, Zilu Zhang +4

Researchers are often interested in using longitudinal data to estimate the causal effects of hypothetical time-varying treatment interventions on the mean or risk of a future outc…

Sensitivity analysis using bias functions for studies extending inferences from a randomized trial to a target population

Issa J. Dahabreh, James M. Robins, Sebastien J-P. A. Haneuse +4

Extending (generalizing or transporting) causal inferences from a randomized trial to a target population requires ``generalizability'' or ``transportability'' assumptions, which s…

Generalizing trial findings using nested trial designs with sub-sampling of non-randomized individuals

Issa J. Dahabreh, Miguel A. Hernan, Sarah E. Robertson +2

To generalize inferences from a randomized trial to the target population of all trial-eligible individuals, investigators can use nested trial designs, where the randomized indivi…

A causal framework for classical statistical estimands in failure time settings with competing events

Jessica G. Young, Mats J. Stensrud, Eric J. Tchetgen Tchetgen +1

In failure-time settings, a competing risk event is any event that makes it impossible for the event of interest to occur. For example, cardiovascular disease death is a competing…

Extending inferences from a randomized trial to a new target population

Issa J. Dahabreh, Sarah E. Robertson, Jon A. Steingrimsson +2

When treatment effect modifiers influence the decision to participate in a randomized trial, the average treatment effect in the population represented by the randomized individual…
