Natural Experiments and Their Importance in Medical Care
Natural experiments are valuable in medical care to determine the causal effect of interventions on health outcomes. Randomized trials are commonly used in medicine, but natural experiments provide insights into the effects of natural phenomena or public policies. One example discussed in the podcast is the impact of marathons on health. Research showed that mortality rates and ambulance transport times increased during marathons due to road closures and delays in care. These findings highlight the importance of considering time and accessibility in acute medical conditions.
