Description

Project to develop a new method for the distributed data setting to control for multiple confounders in the concurrent control design with a single time exposure, e.g., vaccine, assessing elevated rates of rare acute outcomes when the quantity of interest is a risk difference. The method proposed is applicable to both a single-time analysis and a group sequential analysis design.

The programming code provided here has not been formally audited in accordance with the Mini-Sentinel Standard Operating Procedure for Quality Control of SAS Programs. It is being provided in the spirit of supporting the exploration and development of novel scientific and statistical methods using observational healthcare data.
