To me, the advantage of causal inference methods lies in the explicit formulation of what one aims the estimate and the assumptions made. While you cannot prove causality, you can agree or disagree with assumptions and you can do sensitivity analyses (triangulation)

Introp systemic heparin when creating radiocephalic #AVF:
- decrease ⬇️ in thrombosis
- no change ❌ in bleeding
Do you give heparin when creating a #fistula? #medsky #vascsky #hemodialysis
- decrease ⬇️ in thrombosis
- no change ❌ in bleeding

At BWH we do trough anti-Xa monitoring selectively in high bleeding risk patients and patients with suspected altered kinetics (eg renal dz), generally do not routinely monitor for ppx dosing for the reasons you cited
