New research published in Annals of Internal Medicine challenges past scholarship on metformin. CAUSALab collaborator Yu-Han Chiu identified no increased risk for childbirth with major birth defects when compared w/ women who discontinued the drug. CNN article: www.cnn.com/2024/06/17/h...
This week I discussed methods for health technology assessment at HTAi. My main point: "Observational data (#RWD) can often be used to emulate a #TargetTrial#RWE.
Did you know that the LATE estimator was independently described in 1994 by Imbens & Angrist in Econometrica and Baker & Lindeman in Statistics in Medicine? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Don't let the causal inference buzz fool you: Description is the foundation of science. We've described the 3-year health impact of #COVID19academic.oup.com/ofid/article...
Using population-based data from several linked administrative and clinical databases, we characterized the health burden of COVID-19 longitudinally in the near
Have you ever been advised to state your hypothesis in your grant application? Sander Greenland and I argue that stating hypotheses is unnecessary. lnkd.in/eW4ccgae Who cares what you guess the qualitative answer is before doing the study? Just do the study. Your hypothesis is nobody's business.
"Draw your assumptions before your conclusions" 5 years ago we launched our *free* Causal Diagrams course via HarvardX and edX. Since then, 80,000 people in 180 countries have registered. Check it out if you want to learn about DAGs and SWIGs for causal inference: www.edx.org/learn/data-a...
