Time-dependent mediators in survival analysis: Modelling direct and indirect effects with the additive hazards model
Odd O. Aalen, Mats J. Stensrud, Vanessa Didelez +3
We discuss causal mediation analyses for survival data and propose a new approach based on the additive hazards model. The emphasis is on a dynamic point of view, that is, understa…
Generalized interpretation and identification of separable effects in competing event settings
Mats J. Stensrud, Miguel A. Hernán, Eric J. Tchetgen Tchetgen +3
In competing event settings, a counterfactual contrast of cause-specific cumulative incidences quantifies the total causal effect of a treatment on the event of interest. However,…
Insights into the "cross-world" independence assumption of causal mediation analysis
Ryan M. Andrews, Vanessa Didelez
Causal mediation analysis is a useful tool for epidemiological research, but it has been criticized for relying on a "cross-world" independence assumption that is empirically diffi…
On efficient adjustment in causal graphs
Janine Witte, Leonard Henckel, Marloes H. Maathuis +1
We consider estimation of a total causal effect from observational data via covariate adjustment. Ideally, adjustment sets are selected based on a given causal graph, reflecting kn…
