Accounting for confounding by time, early intervention adoption, and time-varying effect modification in the design and analysis of stepped-wedge designs: application to a proposed study design to reduce opioid-related mortality

Lior Rennert et al.

Summary: The article discusses the limitations of commonly used mixed effects models in investigating interventions intended to reduce opioid-related mortality, and proposes extensions of these models to address these limitations. The study found that different combinations of external factors can be adjusted for through correct specification of fixed and random time effects in mixed effects models. Model choice has a considerable impact on the validity of study results and power, therefore careful consideration must be given to how external factors impact study endpoints.
