Propensity Score Matching: should we use it in designing observational studies? by Fei Wan

“…Methods We used analytic formula, simulation, and literature to demonstrate that this paradox stems from the misuse of metrics for assessing chance imbalance and bias. Results Firstly, matched pairs typically exhibit different covariate values despite having identical propensity scores. …”
