Confounding is one of the most important concerns for randomized or nonrandomized intervention or exposure studies. This manuscript describes several metrics intended to provide quantitative approximations of confounding under certain conditions. Each metric quantifies differences in risk between intervention arms during time periods when the intervention (or exposure of interest) is not occurring. Because exposure is absent, these metrics have the potential to summarize the effects of other mea...
