Methods for using clinical laboratory test results as baseline confounders in multi-site observational database studies when missing data are expected.
The purpose of this paper was to quantify missing baseline laboratory results, assess predictors of missingness, and examine performance of missing data methods. The researchers used the Mini-Sentinel Distributed Database to select three exposure-outcome scenarios with laboratory results as baseline confounders. They found that missing data methods performed similarly.
