Performance of the disease risk score in a cohort study with policy-induced selection bias.
Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research 2015 November
AIM: To examine the performance of the disease risk score (DRS) in a cohort study with evidence of policy-induced selection bias.
METHODS: We examined two cohorts of new users of bisphosphonates. Estimates for 1-year hip fracture rates between agents using DRS, exposure propensity scores and traditional multivariable analysis were compared.
RESULTS: The results for the cohort with no evidence of policy-induced selection bias showed little variation across analyses (-4.1-2.0%). Analysis of the cohort with evidence of policy-induced selection bias showed greater variation (-13.5-8.1%), with the greatest difference seen with DRS analyses.
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that caution may be warranted when using DRS methods in cohort studies with policy-induced selection bias, further research is needed.
