Observational studies assessing causal effects of interventions are subject to indication (selection) bias, which may be difficult to eliminate using traditional multivariable techniques. When properly specified, propensity score-adjusted analysis may offer an advantage traditional regression by ensuring that investigators explicitly assess comparability of baseline prognostic factors between the treated and untreated. However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of a propensity score-adjusted analysis depends on the variables selected for the model and the analytic approach.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are often performed on ratios composed of a numerator trait divided by a denominator trait. Examples include body mass index (BMI) and the waist-to-hip ratio, among many others. Explicitly or implicitly, the goal of forming the ratio is typically to adjust for an association between the numerator and denominator.

The SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease PLpro has multiple roles in the viral replication cycle, related to both its polypeptide cleavage function and its ability to antagonize the host immune response. Targeting the PLpro function is recognized as a promising mechanism to modulate viral replication, while supporting host immune responses. However, the development of PLpro-specific inhibitors remains challenging.
