Published in 2022 at "PharmacoEconomics"

DOI: 10.1007/s40273-022-01141-x

Abstract: Evidence about the relative effects of new treatments is typically collected in randomised controlled trials (RCTs). In many instances, evidence from RCTs falls short of the needs of health technology assessment (HTA). For example, RCTs… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "American Journal of Epidemiology"

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwac202

Abstract: Abstract Target trial emulation (TTE) applies the principles of randomized controlled trials to the causal analysis of observational data sets. One challenge that is rarely considered in TTE is the sources of bias that may… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "American journal of epidemiology"

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwae222

Abstract: Causal inference methods intended for use with observational data have been widely available for decades, but barriers exist to their widespread adoption. These likely include lack of familiarity with several methodologic techniques often used in… read more here.
