Preferred term

causal inference in medical decision making  

Definition(s)

  • One of the most important tasks of decision analysts is to derive causal interpretations, on both the level of decision modeling and the level of statistical analyses of original data sets. Usually, an intervention, action, strategy, or risk factor profile is modeled to have a “causal effect” on one or more model parameters (e.g., probability, rate, or mean) of an outcome such as morbidity, mortality, quality of life, or any other outcome.
