Antimicrobial resistance and patient outcomes: the hazards of adjustment
Outcomes studies of infections with resistant bacteria often do not account appropriately for intermediate variables – events in the causal pathway between the exposure and the outcome – when controlling for confounders. We discuss how failure to distinguish between confounders and intermediate vari...

| description | Outcomes studies of infections with resistant bacteria often do not account appropriately for intermediate variables – events in the causal pathway between the exposure and the outcome – when controlling for confounders. We discuss how failure to distinguish between confounders and intermediate variables can bias the analysis, and we address methods of approaching this issue. |
