While randomized clinical trials are the gold-standard for estimating treatment effects, there are many situations where randomized trials are infeasible and judgments regarding treatment effects must be made with observational data. In this talk, I will discuss and illustrate two common approaches for estimating causal effects with observational data using examples in cardiac disease and cancer. I will discuss the assumptions underlying each approach, the importance of testing sensitivity to these assumptions, and reasons they may provide different estimates. |
