1 ADVANCED STATISTICAL METHODS: ACS Outcomes Research Course PART 1: INTRODUCTION TO PROPENSITY SCORES IN STATA Learning objectives: To understand the use of propensity scores as a means for controlling for selection bias in observational studies of treatment effects. To learn how to create propensity scores apply them in a variety of analytic approaches in STATA. To use propensity scores to evaluate the outcomes of open versus laparoscopic appendectomy in the NSQIP data provided. PROPENSITY SCORES IN STATA: Open the dataset and describe the data For this analysis, we will use NSQIP data for patients undergoing appendectomy ( ). This dataset contains 21,475 observations (patients) and 86 variables. The first group (2-56) includes preoperative patient characteristics and medical conditions. The second group (57-83) includes perioperative outcomes. The variables morbprob (var #84) and mortprob (var #85) are probabilities of morbidity and mortality, respectively, based on the NSQIP risk models. Finally, the variable treatment (var #86) tells you whether the appendectomy was performed open or laparoscopically. Type the command: describe, number Contains data from D:\nbirkmey\Desktop\Desktop\ACS Course 2010\Mark Propensity\Appendicitis_Propensity\ACS.NSQIP.Appy.dta obs: 21,475 vars: Oct :11 size: 4,123,200 (99.6% of memory free) variable storage display value name type format label variable label caseid long %12.0g Patient ID 2. sex byte %10.0g sex Patient Sex 3. race str32 %32s Patient Race 4. race1 byte %8.0g race==american Indian or Alaska Native 5. race2 byte %8.0g race==asian or Pacific Islander 6. race3 byte %8.0g race==black, Not of Hispanic Origin 7. race4 byte %8.0g race==hispanic, Black 8. race5 byte %8.0g race==hispanic, Color Unknown 9. race6 byte %8.0g race==hispanic, White 10. race7 byte %8.0g race==unknown 11. race8 byte %8.0g race==white, Not of Hispanic Origin 12. white byte %9.0g whitelab White/Non-White Race 13. white1 byte %8.0g white==white 14. white2 byte %8.0g white==non-white 15. white3 byte %8.0g white==unknown 16. prncptx str25 %25s Principal CPT 1

Begin by tabulating the treatment variable. Type the command: tab treatment. tab treatment Open/Lap Treatment Freq. Percent Cum Lap Appy 15, Open Appy 5, Total 21, This output shows that 5,818 (27%) of patients had open appendectomy and 15,657 (5,818) patients had laparoscopic appendectomy. To determine what variables are associated with treatment you could do crosstabs for each covariate. For example, here is the crosstab for treatment and sex: Type the command: tab treatment sex, row chi nokey. tab treatment sex, row chi nokey Open/Lap Patient Sex Treatment Female Male Total Lap Appy 7,541 8,116 15, Open Appy 2,468 3,350 5, Total 10,009 11,466 21, Pearson chi2(1) = Pr =
4 Alternatively, you could fit a full model (include all covariates) or fit a stepwise model to obtain a more parsimonious model. sw, pe(0.05) : logistic treatment sex white age operyr bmi40 diabetes2 diabetes3 smoke etoh dyspnea2 dyspnea3 fnstatus22 fnstatus23 hxcopd ascites hxchf hxmi hypermed dialysis pregnancy emergncy asa begin with empty model p = < adding rupture p = < adding operyr p = < adding white p = < adding age p = < adding sex p = < adding emergncy p = < adding pregnancy p = < adding etoh p = < adding fnstatus23 p = < adding hxmi p = < adding dialysis Logistic regression Number of obs = LR chi2(11) = Prob > chi2 = Log likelihood = Pseudo R2 = treatment Odds Ratio Std. Err. z P> z [95% Conf. Interval] rupture operyr white age sex emergncy pregnancy etoh fnstatus hxmi dialysis The results show that treatment is associated with rupture, operative year, race, age, sex, emergency surgery, pregnancy, alcohol use, functional status, history of MI, and dialysis. We will use these variables to estimate the propensity score. predict prop (option pr assumed; Pr(treatment)) 4
5 tab treatment, sum(prop). tab treatment, sum(prop) Open/Lap Summary of Pr(treatment) Treatment Mean Std. Dev. Freq Lap Appy Open Appy Total This shows that the propensity score is about 25% in the lap appendectomy and about 31% in the open appendectomy treatment group. Analytic approach 1: Multivariate Modeling One way to use a propensity score is to simply add it as a covariate to a multivariate model. Here we will do that with mortality as the outcome. First we will fit a logistic model with treatment as the only covariate. logistic died treatment Logistic regression Number of obs = LR chi2(1) = Prob > chi2 = Log likelihood = Pseudo R2 = died Odds Ratio Std. Err. z P> z [95% Conf. Interval] treatment We see that patients undergoing open appy are 3.1 times more likely to die than patients undergoing laparoscopic appy. Now we will add the propensity score to the model. logistic died treatment prop 5
6 Logistic regression Number of obs = LR chi2(2) = Prob > chi2 = Log likelihood = Pseudo R2 = died Odds Ratio Std. Err. z P> z [95% Conf. Interval] treatment prop The addition of the propensity score reduced the treatment odds ratio to 1.4 and it is no longer statistically significant. Finally, we will add other predictors of death to the model. logistic died treatment prop mortprob Logistic regression Number of obs = LR chi2(3) = Prob > chi2 = Log likelihood = Pseudo R2 = died Odds Ratio Std. Err. z P> z [95% Conf. Interval] treatment prop mortprob 1.27e e e+08 We see that the treatment odds ratio has been further reduced to Analytic approach 2: Matching Now we will match patients in each treatment on propensity score using the psmatch2 command in STATA. We will specify the logit option, otherwise it would use probit which is the default. We will specify the common support option so that it will leave out cases that lie outside the range of propensity scores of the controls. We will use a caliper matching algorithm with a caliper distance of.005 and specify the no replacement option so that controls are only used once in the matching. We will look at the difference among the treated and control patients between the matched and unmatched cohorts for the following outcomes: any complication, minor complication, major complication, mortality, and return to the OR. psmatch2 treatment, pscore(prop) logit common caliper(.005) noreplacement out(anycomp mincomp majcomp died return) 6
7 There are observations with identical propensity score values. The sort order of the data could affect your results. Make sure that the sort order is random before calling psmatch Variable Sample Treated Controls Difference S.E. T-stat anycomp Unmatched ATT mincomp Unmatched ATT majcomp Unmatched ATT died Unmatched ATT return Unmatched ATT Note: S.E. does not take into account that the propensity score is estimated. psmatch2: psmatch2: Common Treatment support assignment Off suppo On suppor Total Untreated 0 15,657 15,657 Treated 110 5,708 5, Total ,365 21,475 We see that differences in rates of any complication, minor complication, and major complication are reduced but are still statistically significant (T-stat > 2.5). There are no longer statistically significant differences in rates of mortality or return to OR. To get an odds ratio for mortality based on the matched cohort like this. logistic died treatment if _weight==1 Logistic regression Number of obs = LR chi2(1) = 1.21 Prob > chi2 = Log likelihood = Pseudo R2 = died Odds Ratio Std. Err. z P> z [95% Conf. Interval] treatment
8 The way that you tell stata to use the matched cohort is using the _weight variable which was automatically generated by the psmatch2 command.

10 We see that the patients were grouped into 15 blocks and that within those blocks there is no difference in the mean propensity score for treated and controls. However, we are warned that there are some differences with regard to individual variables in several blocks. To address this, we will adjust for these variables in the next step. To evaluate the within strata difference in rates of mortality between treated and control patients we will use a conditional fixed effects model. First we must specify the panel variable for the fixed effect model which is the strata variable (mybid). xtset mybid panel variable: mybid (unbalanced) xtlogit died treatment white operyr, fe or nolog note: multiple positive outcomes within treatments encountered. note: 1 treatment (2301 obs) dropped because of all positive or all negative outcomes. Conditional fixed-effects logistic regression Number of obs = Treatment variable: mybid Number of treatments = 13 Obs per treatment: min = 6 avg = max = 6030 LR chi2(3) = Log likelihood = Prob > chi2 = died OR Std. Err. z P> z [95% Conf. Interval] treatment white operyr Once again we see that we get a statistically non-significant OR of about 1.5 for mortality. 10
