    Abstract Observational data, such as electronic clinical records and claims data, can prove invaluable for evaluating the Average Treatment Effect (ATE) and supporting decision-making, provided they are employed correctly. The Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting (IPTW) method, based on propensity scores, has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in estimating ATE, assuming that the assumptions of exchangeability, consistency, and positivity are met. Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) offer a practical approach to assess the exchangeability assumption, which asserts that treatment assignment and potential outcomes are independent given a set of confounding variables that block all backdoor paths from treatment assignment to potential outcomes. To ensure a consistent ATE estimator, one can adjust for a minimally sufficient adjustment set of confounding variables that block all backdoor paths from treatment assignment to the outcome. To enhance the efficiency of ATE estimators, our proposal involves incorporating both the minimally sufficient adjustment set of confounding variables and predictors into the propensity score model. Extensive simulations were conducted to evaluate the performance of propensity score-based IPTW methods in estimating ATE when different sets of covariates were included in the propensity score models. The simulation results underscored the significance of including the minimally sufficient adjustment set of confounding variables along with predictors in the propensity score models to obtain a consistent and efficient ATE estimator. We applied this proposed method to investigate whether tracheostomy was causally associated with in-hospital infant mortality, utilizing the 2016 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database. The estimated ATE was found to be approximately 2.30%-2.46% with p-value >0.05.

    Abstract Aims: Copper deficiency resulting from prescribing zinc in high doses is a rare but life-changing diagnosis that is frequently overlooked. The aim of this study is to gauge how often zinc-induced copper deficiency is missed, to raise awareness of the condition and to stress the need for guidelines for prescribing zinc.
    Methods: Suspected cases of zinc-induced copper deficiency were retrospectively obtained by selecting those patients with hyperzincaemia and hypocupraemia from the database of the Scottish Trace Element Laboratory. Case records were reviewed to determine the validity of the suspected diagnosis.
    Results: After exclusions, 23 instances of high serum zinc and low serum copper concentrations were found. A positive diagnosis of zinc-induced copper deficiency was made in 14 patients, of which 7 (50%) were previously undiagnosed.
    Conclusion: Serum zinc and copper concentrations are rarely measured in patients prescribed zinc and so the vast majority of cases of zinc-induced copper deficiency are likely to be undiagnosed. We recommend the current official advice on the dose and frequency of zinc administration is revised in order to limit, and potentially eradicate, the condition.

    Abstract In recent years, temperatures have increased globally, and nestlings of many bird species are likely regularly exposed to increased temperatures both pre‐ and post‐natally. Even small increases in nest temperature during incubation affect offspring growth and survival in a variety of species, one cause of which is thought to be increased production of pro‐oxidants in embryos and nestlings. Defences marshalled in response to this oxidative stress could, in turn, result in trade‐offs that lead to reduced survival or growth. If so, any downstream negative effects on nestlings of increased ambient temperatures during incubation could be counteracted by increasing their antioxidant intake. We predicted, therefore, that dietary supplements of an antioxidant would reduce or eliminate any detrimental effects on nestling growth and survival of experimentally increased nest temperature during the incubation period. We employed a split‐brood design in which we increased the nest temperature of entire clutches and, after hatching, provided dietary supplements of the antioxidant vitamin E to half of the nestlings within broods. We also recorded female incubation and provisioning behaviour to control for the possibility that heating nests might also influence maternal behaviour. There was a significant interaction between nestbox heating treatment and vitamin E treatment in their effect on nestling mass, a trait that is positively correlated with survival and future reproductive success in the study population. Vitamin E supplementation promoted increased nestling mass in heated nests, whereas it had the opposite effect in control nests but these effects were weak. Heating significantly affected female incubation behaviour, with females in heated nestboxes investing less in incubation than those in unheated boxes. These results suggest that within at least some range of expected increased ambient temperatures during the 21st century, effects of climate change on nestling bird development can be mitigated by adjustments in female incubation behaviour.
