Researchers have developed a new causal framework to analyze fairness in time-to-event (TTE) analysis, a type of statistical modeling often used in healthcare and other high-stakes domains. This framework allows for the decomposition of survival disparities into direct, indirect, and spurious pathways, offering a more understandable explanation for why and how these disparities emerge over time. The non-parametric approach involves formalizing assumptions with graphical models, recovering survival functions, and applying causal reduction theorems for efficient estimation. The method was applied to study racial disparities in intensive care unit (ICU) outcomes. AI
