Title: Analysis of Clustered Complex Design Data: Propensity Score Matching
Author(s): Mi-Ok Kim*

Keywords: matching ; clustered design
Abstract:

Matching is a popular approach to reducing confounding in observational studies. Various matching techniques/designs are available. Most of them were developed for causal inference with independent data, and little is known about their application to clustered data. The clustered data structure questions whether and how the data structure needs to be accounted for in matching. Matched data may further complicate the analysis by requiring both the clustered data structure and the matching structure to be accounted for. We extend the counterfactual outcomes framework to clustered data setting and delineate when and how to match and account for both the data and the matching structure. Simulation studies are conducted for comparison, which mimics a real world setting of multi-center kidney transplant cohort study.
