An investigation of selection bias in estimating racial disparity in stroke risk factors: The REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study
American Journal of Epidemiology Nov 23, 2018
Long DL, et al. - Experts sought to contrast racial differences in two-stroke risk factors, incident hypertension and incident left ventricular hypertrophy estimated by complete case analyses, inverse probability of attrition weighting, and the Survivor Average Causal Effect in a large national cohort with moderate loss to follow-up. Findings suggested a virtually similarity of adjusted risk ratio estimates of racial disparities from complete case analyses in both incident hypertension and incident left ventricular hypertrophy and estimates from inverse probability of attrition weighting and Survivor Average Causal Effect. Little evidence of selection bias in the estimation of racial differences was found for these incident risk factors despite racial differences in mortality and attrition.
