Abstract: At present, traditional methods on statistics have limitations in controlling time- varying confounding. This paper introduces an analysis method, parametric g-formula, which would adjust time-varying confounding, and also exemplifies the steps of its implementation for purpose to provide a new reference for researchers to deal with long-term observational data.
