Refining the Association Between Body Mass Index and Atrial Fibrillation: G‐Formula and Restricted Mean Survival Times

Background Previous studies assessing the association between body mass index (BMI) and atrial fibrillation (AF) did not account for time-varying covariates, which may be affected by previous BMI. We illustrate how the g-formula can account for time-varying confounding. Methods and Results We includ...
