Performance of disease risk score matching in nested case-control studies: a simulation study.
The authors investigate whether or not matching on a disease risk score (DRS), which includes many confounders, results in greater precision than matching on only a few confounders. Their results suggest that DRS matching might increase the statistical efficiency of case-control studies, particularly when the outcome is rare.
