Patient Centered Adaptive Treatment Strategies (PCATS) Using Bayesian Causal Inference [Methods Study], 2015-2020 (ICPSR 39520)

Treatment plans for patients with long-term health problems such as diabetes or arthritis often change over time. Such plans are called adaptive treatment plans as doctors adapt treatment based on the patient's health problem and response to earlier treatments. Adaptive treatment plans are common, but the methods to assess how well a plan works may not always provide accurate results. To know which plans are best for patients, researchers need better methods to compare these adaptive plans.
In this study, the research team developed and tested a new statistical method and looked at whether it could more accurately compare adaptive treatment plans.
