Transportability in healthcare research: A review of practical applications and statistical methods

IOSW was the primary method used for transportability, predominantly within the same country when individual-level data from both the study population and target population could be combined. Our findings reveal that practical applications of transportability remain largely limited to national contexts, with few cross-country implementations observed.

Abstract

IOSW was the primary method used for transportability, predominantly within the same country when individual-level data from both the study population and target population could be combined. Our findings reveal that practical applications of transportability remain largely limited to national contexts, with few cross-country implementations observed.
