Key Points

Review the methodology, application, and practical utility of propensity score analyses in cardiovascular observational research.
Evaluated methodological frameworks for propensity score estimation and diagnostic balance assessment.
Examined key implementation techniques, including matching, stratification, and inverse probability weighting.
Propensity score methods effectively reduce treatment-selection bias and balance observed covariates between treatment groups in non-randomized settings.
Residual confounding from unmeasured variables remains an inherent limitation that cannot be eliminated by propensity score adjustments alone.
