Investigation of potential collider bias in estimating the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and COVID-19 mortality
Our findings suggest that associations between LTAP and COVID-19 mortality are likely underestimated in patient-based cohorts due to potential collider bias, while IPW could be a useful tool to adjust such bias.
