Summary of analysis approaches used in the simulation and case studies

Approach Imputation Approach Weights in analysis model How missing data addressed Imputation sample Analysis sample
‘by design’ ‘by chance’
CCA None sampling IPW Not addressed N/A Subset
IPW-Only None combineda IPW IPW N/A Subset
MI-IPW-Sub FCS with outcome only sampling IPW MI Subset Subset
MI-IPW-Int FCS with outcome only sampling IPW MI Full cohort Subset
MI-Only FCS imputation None MI MI Full cohort Full cohort

FCS Fully conditional specification, IPW Inverse probability weighting, MI Multiple imputation

aCombined weights are the product of inverse probability of selection into subcohort and inverse probability of being a complete observation
