Longitudinal Outcomes Truncated by Death: Causal Estimands and Bayesian Estimators

Juliette Ortholand, Marie-Abele C Bind, Young Lee

Stratified average causal effects combined with restricted mean survival time provide a more complete characterisation of treatment effects when death truncates longitudinal outcomes.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The stratified average causal effect, combined with restricted mean survival time, provides a more complete characterisation of treatment effects.

C2weakest assumption

The lack of a natural notion of ordering and distance for outcomes truncated by death leads to an inherently multifactorial problem; assumptions required for identification of the reviewed estimands.

C3one line summary

Framework clarifying causal estimands for longitudinal outcomes truncated by death, with Bayesian estimators; stratified average causal effect plus restricted mean survival time gives a more complete treatment effect characterisation.
