*CANCELLED* Exploring Heterogeneity in the Effects of ICU Transfers on Mortality

Dr. Basu's discussion will include:

-The effect of heterogeneity and its importance on decision-making.

He will highlight new methods to achieve these objectives using continuous instrumental variables and illustrate the application of the these methods in assessing the impact of ICU transfers on patient mortality.
