arXiv:2606. 02625v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Purpose: To compare dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived hip skeletal phenotypes in relation to hip fracture risk using prespecified confounder adjustment and to assess whether phenotypes ranked by their backdoor-adjusted average treatment effects (ATEs) improve risk stratification.

arXiv:2606. 08305v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Externally controlled survival trials are increasingly used when concurrent randomized controls are infeasible, particularly in oncology and rare-disease settings with time-to-event endpoints.

arXiv:2605. 12895v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Clinical decision-support systems are expert systems whose recommendations clinicians act on directly, yet they are usually cleared on one aggregate accuracy number from a held-out test set.

arXiv:2608. 08920v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Perioperative risk prediction models are often limited by narrow surgical populations, incomplete intraoperative data, poor calibration, and limited interpretability.

arXiv:2601. 00175v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Objective: Develop and evaluate machine learning (ML) models for predicting incident liver cirrhosis (LC) one and two years prior to diagnosis using routinely collected electronic health record (EHR) data and benchmark their performance against the FIB-4 and APRI clinical scores.

arXiv:2607. 16934v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditional randomized trials often obscure clinically meaningful heterogeneity in treatment response by focusing on average effects.

arXiv:2606. 30702v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Structured tabular data dominates clinical medicine, yet existing benchmarks fail to reflect real-world properties like complex survey sampling, demographic oversampling, and subgroup fairness.

arXiv:2606. 18281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conditional average treatment effects (CATEs) are central to treatment decision-making in personalized medicine.

arXiv:2604. 16763v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Causal inference from electronic health records (EHR) is fundamentally limited by unmeasured confounding: critical clinical states such as frailty, goals of care, and mental status are documented in free-text notes but absent from structured data.

arXiv:2505. 16941v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Foundation models (FMs) promise to address core limitations of traditional supervised machine learning: (i) reliance on large amounts of labeled data, (ii) task specificity, and (iii) poor transportability.
