Scientific paper
I diversi studi di "real-life" condotti confermano l'efficacia terapeutica dei DOAC con tassi di sanguinamento generalmente simili o inferiori a quelli riportati nei trial registrativi. Tuttavia, esattamente come avviene per gli studi randomizzati controllati di fase III, le differenze metodologiche tra le analisi "real-world" devono essere tenute presenti perché possono rendere le comparazioni tra farmaci confondenti o non valide.
Does this mean incorrect in this context? Many thanks!

...drug confusing or...
In my opinion the meaning of this (horrible) sentence is:
methodological differences can make comparisons between different drugs confusing or invalid
methodological differences can make comparisons between different drugs confusing or invalid

confusing
I would say "confusing"

confounding
Note that it is the comparison that is confounding, not the drugs. What it means here is that certain factors are mistakenly not taken into account, confounding the results.

: I agree that "confounding" is used in drug trials, eg confounding variable, but I don't think it fits this particular context. You can't say "comparisons are confounding".

Mine was just a quick note to point out the asker's confusion. I'm aware we wouldn't say "confounding comparisons" - the text would need rewording to reflect the fact that it is the variables which are confounding, for example.
