Transportability methods for failure-time outcomes under assumptions for relative effect measures

Sarah E Robertson, Lan Wen, Lawson Ung +2

In certain clinical areas, relative effect measures are believed to remain more constant across populations than absolute measures. This suggests that exchangeability assumptions o…

Interpretable meta-analysis of model or marker performance

Jon A. Steingrimsson, Lan Wen, Sarah Voter +1

Conventional meta analysis of model performance conducted using datasources from different underlying populations often result in estimates that cannot be interpreted in the contex…

Estimating and evaluating counterfactual prediction models

Christopher B. Boyer, Issa J. Dahabreh, Jon A. Steingrimsson

Counterfactual prediction methods are required when a model will be deployed in a setting where treatment policies differ from the setting where the model was developed, or when a…

Sensitivity analysis for studies transporting prediction models

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

We consider the estimation of measures of model performance in a target population when covariate and outcome data are available on a sample from some source population and covaria…

Generalizability analyses with a partially nested trial design: the Necrotizing Enterocolitis Surgery Trial

Sarah E. Robertson, Matthew A. Rysavy, Martin L. Blakely +2

We discuss generalizability analyses under a partially nested trial design, where part of the trial is nested within a cohort of trial-eligible individuals, while the rest of the t…

Robust Estimation of Loss-Based Measures of Model Performance under Covariate Shift

Samantha Morrison, Constantine Gatsonis, Issa J. Dahabreh +2

We present methods for estimating loss-based measures of the performance of a prediction model in a target population that differs from the source population in which the model was…

Tree-based Subgroup Discovery In Electronic Health Records: Heterogeneity of Treatment Effects for DTG-containing Therapies

Jiabei Yang, Ann W. Mwangi, Rami Kantor +5

The rich longitudinal individual level data available from electronic health records (EHRs) can be used to examine treatment effect heterogeneity. However, estimating treatment eff…

Global sensitivity analysis for studies extending inferences from a randomized trial to a target population

Issa J. Dahabreh, James M. Robins, Sebastien J-P. A. Haneuse +3

When individuals participating in a randomized trial differ with respect to the distribution of effect modifiers compared compared with the target population where the trial result…

Systematically Missing Data in Causally Interpretable Meta-Analysis

Jon A. Steingrimsson, David H. Barker, Ruofan Bie +1

Causally interpretable meta-analysis combines information from a collection of randomized controlled trials to estimate treatment effects in a target population in which experiment…

Cluster randomized trials designed to support generalizable inferences

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

Background: When planning a cluster randomized trial, evaluators often have access to an enumerated cohort representing the target population of clusters. Practicalities of conduct…

Randomized trials and their observational emulations: a framework for benchmarking and joint analysis

Issa J. Dahabreh, Jon A. Steingrimsson, James M. Robins +1

A randomized trial and an analysis of observational data designed to emulate the trial sample observations separately, but have the same eligibility criteria, collect information o…

Extending inferences from a cluster randomized trial to a target population

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

We describe methods that extend (generalize or transport) causal inferences from cluster randomized trials to a target population of clusters, under a general nonparametric model t…

Learning about treatment effects in a new target population under transportability assumptions for relative effect measures

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

Epidemiologists and applied statisticians often believe that relative effect measures conditional on covariates, such as risk ratios and mean ratios, are ``transportable'' across p…

Sample size calculations for n-of-1 trials

Jiabei Yang, Jon A. Steingrimsson, Christopher H. Schmid

N-of-1 trials, single participant trials in which multiple treatments are sequentially randomized over the study period, can give direct estimates of individual-specific treatment…

Regression-based estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects when extending inferences from a randomized trial to a target population

Sarah E Robertson, Jon A Steingrimsson, Issa J Dahabreh

Methods for extending -- generalizing or transporting -- inferences from a randomized trial to a target population involve conditioning on a large set of covariates that is suffici…

Estimating subgroup effects in generalizability and transportability analyses

Sarah E. Robertson, Jon A. Steingrimsson, Nina R. Joyce +2

Methods for extending -- generalizing or transporting -- inferences from a randomized trial to a target population involve conditioning on a large set of covariates that is suffici…

Center-specific causal inference with multicenter trials: reinterpreting trial evidence in the context of each participating center

Sarah E. Robertson, Jon A. Steingrimsson, Nina R. Joyce +2

In multicenter randomized trials, when effect modifiers have a different distribution across centers, comparisons between treatment groups that average over centers may not apply t…

Transporting a prediction model for use in a new target population

Jon A. Steingrimsson, Constantine Gatsonis, Issa J. Dahabreh

We consider methods for transporting a prediction model and assessing its performance for use in a new target population, when outcome and covariate information for model developme…
