Hmm, this is tricky. I'm thinking it's related to techniques for case-mix adjustment or risk stratification, to make sure you're not just seeing differences due to the types of patients in each group. Gotta dig into my notes on that.

Ah, I know this one! It's about risk adjustment, where you use statistical methods to control for differences in patient populations that could affect outcomes. Gotta make sure you're comparing apples to apples.

Hmm, this seems like it could be about adjusting for confounding factors in clinical trials. I'll need to think through the different techniques used for that.
