Propensity score matching in Stata

<p>At its most basic, propensity score matching is a technique that balances the distribution of baseline covariates between groups so that the independent effect of an intervention can be measured.</p> <p>This can be important when comparing the effectiveness of two treatments outside of a randomised controlled trial, such as when analysing routine administrative health data.</p> <p>Here, the probability of a patient receiving one treatment rather than another will not be random, but instead determined by careful clinical consideration and patient choice. These selection effects lead to an imbalance in patient characteristics between groups, and thereby the risk of poor health outcomes</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@thestataguide/propensity-score-matching-in-stata-ba77178e4611"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
