工具变量(IV)是一个有用的工具,估计因果关系的影响,在存在不可测量的混杂。IV方法对于未经审查的结果,特别是对于结构线性方程模型,其中简单的两阶段估计方案是可用的。将这些方法扩展到生存环境是具有挑战性的,部分原因是流行的生存回归模型的非线性,部分原因是与右删失或其他生存特征相关的并发症。受前列腺、肺、结直肠和卵巢(PLCO)癌筛查试验的启发,我们在右删失数据的比例风险模型中建立了一个简单的因果风险比估计。该方法利用IV的特殊特征,可以使用直观的逆加权方案,该方案通常适用于具有左截断、竞争风险或复发事件的更复杂的生存环境。我们严格建立的估计量的渐近性质,并提供插件方差估计。所提出的方法可以在标准软件中实现,并通过广泛的模拟研究进行评估。我们应用所提出的IV方法,从前列腺,肺,结直肠和卵巢癌筛查试验的数据集,以描绘的因果关系的影响,灵活的乙状结肠镜检查结直肠癌的生存率,这可能是混淆的信息不遵守分配的筛选方案。
Instrumental variables (IV) are a useful tool for estimating causal effects in the presence of unmeasured confounding. IV methods are well developed for uncensored outcomes, particularly for structural linear equation models, where simple two-stage estimation schemes are available. The extension of these methods to survival settings is challenging, partly because of the nonlinearity of the popular survival regression models and partly because of the complications associated with right censoring or other survival features. Motivated by the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer screening trial, we develop a simple causal hazard ratio estimator in a proportional hazards model with right censored data. The method exploits a special characterization of IV which enables the use of an intuitive inverse weighting scheme that is generally applicable to more complex survival settings with left truncation, competing risks, or recurrent events. We rigorously establish the asymptotic properties of the estimators, and provide plug-in variance estimators. The proposed method can be implemented in standard software, and is evaluated through extensive simulation studies. We apply the proposed IV method to a data set from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian cancer screening trial to delineate the causal effect of flexible sigmoidoscopy screening on colorectal cancer survival which may be confounded by informative noncompliance with the assigned screening regimen.
