Query: Measurement error and precision medicine: error-prone tailoring
  covariates in dynamic treatment regimes   Precision medicine incorporates patient-level covariates to tailor treatment
decisions, seeking to improve outcomes. In longitudinal studies with
time-varying covariates and sequential treatment decisions, precision medicine
can be formalized with dynamic treatment regimes (DTRs): sequences of
covariate-dependent treatment rules. To date, the precision medicine literature
has not addressed a ubiquitous concern in health research - measurement error -
where observed data deviate from the truth. We discuss the consequences of
ignoring measurement error in the context of DTRs, focusing on challenges
unique to precision medicine. We show - through simulation and theoretical
results - that relatively simple measurement error correction techniques can
lead to substantial improvements over uncorrected analyses, and apply these
findings to the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D)
study.
