ICPE 2014- preconference course

The course of DUR (drug utilization research) yesterday bored me because it was too introductory.
However, CER (comparative effectiveness research) lectures this morning make me feel frustrated as a result of going too far from my current knowledge… ;(

Waiting to clarify:
- propensity score (operational def.)
- propensity score vs. disease risk score (DRS)- difference while applying?
- sequential analysis (of propensity score)/ its application in CER
- Instrument variable vs. propensity score
- General concept: confounding factor management
- Misclassification in CER: cause, results and analysis method
- SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS!? methods and their strength & weakness
- Channeling bias (??)
- c statistics 一致性統計
