medmodels.treatment_effect.treatment_effect

This module provides a class for analyzing treatment effects in medical records.

The TreatmentEffect class facilitates the analysis of treatment effects over time or across different patient groups. It allows users to identify patients who underwent treatment and experienced outcomes, and find a control group with similar criteria but without undergoing the treatment. The class supports customizable criteria filtering, time constraints between treatment and outcome, and optional matching of control groups to treatment groups using a specified matching class.

The default TreatmentEffect class performs an static analysis without considering time. To perform a time-based analysis, users can specify a time attribute in the configuration and set the washout period, grace period, and follow-up period.
