LLMs and normalizing flows tackle incomplete healthcare data for treatment effect estimation

Researchers have developed a novel two-stage pipeline, CausalFlow-T, designed to improve treatment effect estimation from incomplete longitudinal electronic health records. The first stage utilizes a DAG-constrained normalizing flow with LSTM encoding for precise counterfactual inference, while the second stage employs an LLM-driven imputer to handle missing data. This combined approach demonstrated superior performance in preserving average treatment effect recovery across various missingness levels compared to statistical baselines. AI

    Joint Treatment Effect Estimation from Incomplete Healthcare Data: Temporal Causal Normalizing Flows with LLM-driven Evolutionary MNAR Imputation

    arXiv:2605.05125v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Target trial emulation (TTE) enables causal questions to be studied with observational data when randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are infeasible. Yet treatment-effect methods often address causal estimation, missingness, and temp…

    Joint Treatment Effect Estimation from Incomplete Healthcare Data: Temporal Causal Normalizing Flows with LLM-driven Evolutionary MNAR Imputation

    Target trial emulation (TTE) enables causal questions to be studied with observational data when randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are infeasible. Yet treatment-effect methods often address causal estimation, missingness, and temporal structure separately, limiting their robust…
