2 The Idea Randomised Controlled Trials (RCT s) are the gold standard for estimating the effect of treatments on healthy patients under controlled conditions. Small scale Efficacy
3 The Idea Randomised Controlled Trials (RCT s) are the gold standard for estimating the effect of treatments on healthy patients under controlled conditions. Small scale Efficacy But will the treatment be effective in a particular target population? Effectiveness Clinical trial participants might not be representative of target population
4 The Idea Randomised Controlled Trials (RCT s) are the gold standard for estimating the effect of treatments on healthy patients under controlled conditions. Small scale Efficacy But will the treatment be effective in a particular target population? Effectiveness Clinical trial participants might not be representative of target population Generalisability of RCT results.
5 The Idea Definition The propensity score of a patient is the probability of taking part in the RCT given the covariates of the patient
6 The Idea Definition The propensity score of a patient is the probability of taking part in the RCT given the covariates of the patient Can be used to reweight the results of a RCT in order to estimate the effectiveness of a drug in a target population.
7 Problem Formulation Ω = the target population of interest.
8 Problem Formulation Ω = the target population of interest. X i = the covariates of i, i Ω.
9 Problem Formulation Ω = the target population of interest. X i = the covariates of i, i Ω. Φ Ω. A RCT is performed on Φ.
10 Problem Formulation Ω = the target population of interest. X i = the covariates of i, i Ω. Φ Ω. A RCT is performed on Φ. S i = indicator variable for patient i being in Φ.
11 Problem Formulation Ω = the target population of interest. X i = the covariates of i, i Ω. Φ Ω. A RCT is performed on Φ. S i = indicator variable for patient i being in Φ. T i = indicator variable that patient i is in the treatment group (as opposed to the control) of the RCT.
12 Problem Formulation Ω = the target population of interest. X i = the covariates of i, i Ω. Φ Ω. A RCT is performed on Φ. S i = indicator variable for patient i being in Φ. T i = indicator variable that patient i is in the treatment group (as opposed to the control) of the RCT. Y i (1) and Y i (0) = the treatment effects in the RCT under treatment and control.
13 Problem Formulation RCT average treatment effect: 1 Φ i {s i =1} Y i (1) Y i (0). Target Population average treatment effect: 1 Ω Ω i=1 Y i(1) Y i (0).
14 Problem Formulation RCT average treatment effect: 1 Φ i {s i =1} Y i (1) Y i (0). Target Population average treatment effect: 1 Ω Ω i=1 Y i(1) Y i (0). Assuming Φ is representative of the target population Ω, these should be equal.
15 Problem Formulation RCT average treatment effect: 1 Φ i {s i =1} Y i (1) Y i (0). Target Population average treatment effect: 1 Ω Ω i=1 Y i(1) Y i (0). Assuming Φ is representative of the target population Ω, these should be equal. They rarely are: due to tightly defined entry criteria.
16 Three Assumptions P( S i = 1 X i ) > 0 for any covariates X i. All patients in the target population have some probability of being used in the RCT.
17 Three Assumptions P( S i = 1 X i ) > 0 for any covariates X i. All patients in the target population have some probability of being used in the RCT. S [Y (0), Y (1)] X There are no unmeasured confounders (related to both trial sample selection and treatment effect).
18 Three Assumptions P( S i = 1 X i ) > 0 for any covariates X i. All patients in the target population have some probability of being used in the RCT. S [Y (0), Y (1)] X There are no unmeasured confounders (related to both trial sample selection and treatment effect). T [S, Y (0), Y (1)] X Treatment assignment in the RCT is randomly assigned and independent of sample selection and responses.
19 Estimating the propensity scores Definition The propensity score of patient i is p i = P(S i = 1 X i )
20 Estimating the propensity scores Definition The propensity score of patient i is p i = P(S i = 1 X i ) Given observed data {S i } i Φ and covariates {X } i Φ, estimate propensity scores by logistic regression: S i = Bern(p i ) log ( p i 1 p i ) = β 0 + β 1 X 1,i β k X k,i
21 Estimating the propensity scores Definition The propensity score of patient i is p i = P(S i = 1 X i ) Given observed data {S i } i Φ and covariates {X } i Φ, estimate propensity scores by logistic regression: S i = Bern(p i ) log ( p i 1 p i ) = β 0 + β 1 X 1,i β k X k,i Use these ˆp i s to see whether Φ is representative of Ω.
22 Assessing Generalisability Propensity score difference:= difference between the mean propensity scores of patients in the trial sample Ω and target population Φ: p = 1 Ω i {S i =1} ˆp i 1 Φ Ω i {S i =0} ˆp i
23 Assessing Generalisability Propensity score difference:= difference between the mean propensity scores of patients in the trial sample Ω and target population Φ: p = 1 Ω i {S i =1} ˆp i 1 Φ Ω i {S i =0} ˆp i If propensity score means differ by >0.25 sd s, then clinical trial population Φ may not be representative of Ω.
24 Assessing Generalisability To see if propensity score weighting works: Weight the RCT control group so the characteristics are like the target population, and then compare the responses.
25 Assessing Generalisability To see if propensity score weighting works: Weight the RCT control group so the characteristics are like the target population, and then compare the responses. Use propensity score matching :
26 Assessing Generalisability To see if propensity score weighting works: Weight the RCT control group so the characteristics are like the target population, and then compare the responses. Use propensity score matching : Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting: Each individual is given a weight 1 ˆp i (X i ).
27 Assessing Generalisability To see if propensity score weighting works: Weight the RCT control group so the characteristics are like the target population, and then compare the responses. Use propensity score matching : Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting: Each individual is given a weight 1 ˆp i (X i ). Under our 3 assumptions, the RCT control group under this weighting has responses which are an unbias estimate of those in the target population.

38 Application: PBIS Study in Maryland USA PBIS is a school prevention program which aims to "improve the school climate through better systems and procedures". 37 Maryland schools took part in a RCT to investigate the effect of PBIS in The 37 schools were randomised into control and treatment groups. Define the target population as Maryland schools. We consider variables such as the characteristics of students and school measured in 2002 as covariates.
39 Application: PBIS Study in Maryland USA Main Point: The characteristics/covariates of the schools in the RCT are different to those in the target population.
40 Application: PBIS Study in Maryland USA Main Point: The characteristics/covariates of the schools in the RCT are different to those in the target population. Schools in the trial had lower test scores and higher free school meals than those in the target population.
41 Application: PBIS Study in Maryland USA Main Point: The characteristics/covariates of the schools in the RCT are different to those in the target population. Schools in the trial had lower test scores and higher free school meals than those in the target population. So... Propensity scores were estimated through logistic regression.
42 Application: PBIS Study in Maryland USA Figure: Propensity score density of schools in target population and propensity scores of 37 schools in RCT (vertical lines) Mean propensity score difference p = So Φ not representative of Ω.

45 Application: PBIS Study in Maryland USA "Despite the differences seen between the trial and non-trial schools, it appears that the control schools in the trial reflect what was happening across the state as a whole, when weighted up to represent the population" - Stuart et al. (2010) [2]
46 Application: PBIS Study in Maryland USA "Despite the differences seen between the trial and non-trial schools, it appears that the control schools in the trial reflect what was happening across the state as a whole, when weighted up to represent the population" - Stuart et al. (2010) [2] Therefore if we weighted the RCT treatment group schools in the same way, we unbiasedly assess the effectiveness of PBIS in the target population of Maryland Schools.
