“…Inputs for this bias analysis have been previously questioned as the assumptions informing these are subjective and results vary by slight changes in their inputs. 35 Our findings extend this work by using an internal validation study to inform the bias parameters and draw conclusions from one study center limiting heterogeneity in treatment practices. Using more conservative bias parameters informed from the validation cohort slightly weakened the impact of unmeasured confounding on our results by comparison.…”
Methadone is associated with increased risk of neonatal abstinence syndrome compared with buprenorphine in infants exposed in utero. This association is subject to minimal bias due to unmeasured confounding by severity of addiction.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
