Consequently, patients within the same cluster are more likely to be categorized into the same propensity score stratum.
Moreover, in the same propensity-adjusted analysis, those patients in the highest quartile of oxygen exposure had improved lung function over 24 h compared to those in the lowest quartile of exposure, further strengthening our assertion that pulmonary oxygen toxicity is not a clinically relevant phenomenon in this patient population.
Thus, under the assumptions of the strong ignorability in treatment assignment, if a unit in the treatment group and a corresponding matched unit in the comparison group have the same propensity score, the two matched units will have, in probability, the same value of the covariate vector X i.
Another explanation shows the same pattern of age heaping for the women aged 15 49 when following the same cohort from 1976 to 1986 , 1997and 2007 suggesting that the same individuals or cohorts enumerated in the subsequent census and had the same propensity to misreport in time.
In common-sense terms, this means that in the synthetic study, within the same propensity score strata, the assignment to treatment is essentially the same as if it had been done by randomisation.
Thus, as in rodents and primates, prominin-1 from non-mammalian vertebrate animal models has the same propensity to appear in various alternatively spliced forms being suggestive of multiple — yet unidentified — interacting partners and/or specific functions.
This stance, however, rests upon a rather unlikely assumption that all people carry the same propensity to participate in survey research.
However, if more NN patients had the same propensity score, all were included in the matching group.
The aim of this research was to determine whether all memory T cells have the same propensity to migrate to the joint in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
In order to control for all the risk factors, those with the same propensity scores but different exposures were compared.
