倾向性评分匹配中纳入变量的问题
看资料时看到一段话,有一句话我不是特别理解,还望大神解疑答惑,谢谢
Normally propensity score matching only includes baseline variables. And nonbaseline variables (e.g.mechanical ventilation) shouldn't be included in the propensity score matching. This is a way to match for the trajectory of the disease dusing the length and may introduce the bias.
这个trajectory of disease 是什么意思啊,具体的不能纳入的原因,是会引入什么样的偏椅,又应该如何处理这样的变量呢,谢谢大神
