论文摘要
在本评论中,我们强调了:(1)仔细考虑和澄清边际或有条件治疗效应是否在人群调整后的间接治疗比较中感兴趣; (2)开发不同的方法来估计不同的效果度量。每种方法的适当性取决于推理的首选目标。
In this commentary, we highlight the importance of: (1) carefully considering and clarifying whether a marginal or conditional treatment effect is of interest in a population-adjusted indirect treatment comparison; and (2) developing distinct methodologies for estimating the different measures of effect. The appropriateness of each methodology depends on the preferred target of inference.
