Σύνοψη	Multi-period Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW) estimates the causal effect of a treatment that varies across multiple time periods by reweighting observations according to the probability of receiving each period's treatment given past treatment history and time-varying confounders. It creates a pseudo-population where treatment at each period is independent of measured confounders, enabling unbiased estimation of sustained treatment strategies.	Dynamic Inverse Probability Weighting (Dynamic IPW) estimates the causal effect of a time-varying treatment sequence by reweighting observed data to mimic a hypothetical randomised trial. Developed by Robins and colleagues in the context of marginal structural models, it handles the challenge that in longitudinal settings, past treatment affects future covariates, which in turn affect future treatment — a feedback loop that standard regression cannot untangle.
