Quantifying the causal impact of biological risk factors on healthcare costs

2022-11-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> A critical step in evaluating healthcare interventions is to understand their impact on healthcare costs. However, there is a limited understanding of the causal impact that biomarkers and risk factors for disease have on healthcare-related costs. Previous studies based on observational data have major limitations including residual confounding and reverse causation. Here, we used a geneticall...
