AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The use of propensity scores in psychological and educational research has been steadily increasing in the last 2 to 3 years. However, there are some common misconceptions about the use of different estimation techniques and conditioning choices in the context of propensity score analysis. In addition, reporting practices for propensity score analyses often lack important details that allow other researchers to confidently judge the appropriateness of reported analyses and potentially to replicate published findings. In this article we conduct a systematic literature review of a large number of published articles in major areas of social science that used propensity scores up until the fall of 2009. We identify common errors in estimation, conditioning, and reporting of propensity score analyses and suggest possible solutions.

December 2024
College of Pharmacy, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA.
Background: Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are associated with potential tendon injury but comparative risk versus other antibiotic (non-FQ) options for the same indication has rarely been evaluated.
Objective: Describe the incidence (relative risk) of any tendon injury in patients receiving FQs compared with other (non-FQ) antibiotics for treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Methods: A retrospective propensity score-weighted cohort study was performed to evaluate the association between FQ antibiotics and tendon injury at two time points (within one month and within six months of use) compared with non-FQ regimens for treatment of UTI.
