Abstract

In the context of observational studies, the definition of the strength of association between an exposure variable and an outcome, event or end point may be altered by the unequal distribution of covariates between those who do or do not present the aforementioned exposure. In this paper we will review different statistical approaches to this problem, from multivariate analysis to the adjustment that takes into account the inverse of the weighted probability of treatment, and we will apply them to examples extracted from the literature.
