Estimating the effect of healthcare-associated infections on excess length of hospital stay using inverse-probability weighted survival curves
Background Studies estimating excess length of stay (LoS) attributable to nosocomial infections have failed to address time-varying confounding, likely leading to overestimation of their impact. We present a methodology based on inverse probability-weighted (IPW) survival curves to address this limi...
