AbstractCausal inference in observational research requires a careful approach to adjustment for confounding. One such approach is the use of propensity score analyses. In this editorial, we focus on the role of propensity score-based methods in estimating causal effects from non-randomised observational data. We highlight the details, assumptions, and limitations of these methods and provide authors with guidelines for the conduct and reporting of propensity score analyses.Copyright © 2023 British Journal of Anaesthesia.
