Mavridis Dimitris, Salanti Georgia·Statistical methods in medical research
Multivariate meta-analysis is becoming increasingly popular and official routines or self-programmed functions have been included in many statistical software. In this article, we review the statistical methods and the related software for multivariate meta-analysis. Emphasis is placed on Bayesian methods using Markov…
Berkeljon Arjan, Baldwin Scott A·Psychotherapy research : journal of the Society for Psychotherapy Research
Meta-analysis consists of a set of statistical techniques for quantitatively aggregating and summarizing the results of several studies. This article provides an introductory tutorial to the process of meta-analysis for psychotherapy outcome research, including identifying and collecting studies, coding effect sizes, c…
Hedges Larry V, Pigott Therese D·Psychological methods
Calculation of the statistical power of statistical tests is important in planning and interpreting the results of research studies, including meta-analyses. It is particularly important in moderator analyses in meta-analysis, which are often used as sensitivity analyses to rule out moderator effects but also may have…
Hinotsu Shiro, Akaza Hideyuki·Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy
Meta-analysis is a statistical method for combining the results of available research studies to increase statistical power. The steps of meta-analysis are identification of question, search and selection of trials and analysis. Evidence based medicine (EBM) is integrating individual clinical expertise with the best av…
Nony P, Cucherat M, Haugh M C, +1 more·Fundamental & clinical pharmacology
In this paper we present a brief overview of the growing concern to standardize definitions and terminology in meta-analysis. This tool has become inescapable in both drug research and therapeutic evaluation. The performed and published meta-analyses are increasing, as well as the variation in the meaning of the terms…
Beck C T·Journal of obstetric, gynecologic, and neonatal nursing : JOGNN
If nursing practice is to benefit from the abundance of nursing research being conducted, a technique is needed to synthesize and integrate the results of individual studies. Meta-analysis, a quantitative approach to literature review, is such a technique. This article provides an overview of meta-analysis. Examples of…
Engle V F, Graney M J·Journal of gerontological nursing
A meta-analysis review of literature addresses concerns such as inclusion and exclusion criteria for articles in the meta-analysis and seeks potentially biasing effects of sample size and characteristics, measurement of variables, type of design, and analytic techniques. Whereas the narrative review of literature provi…
Nikolakopoulou Adriani, Mavridis Dimitris, Salanti Georgia·Evidence-based mental health
This section of the journal is aimed at providing the essential information readers should know about the topics that are addressed in the 'Statistics in practice' paper published in the same issue of the journal. This stand-alone section has to be seen as an articulated summary of the main notions clinicians have to k…
Aitkin M·Statistics in medicine
The meta-analysis of multi-centre trials can be based on either fixed or random effect models. This paper argues for the general use of random effect models, and illustrates the value of non-parametric maximum likelihood (NPML) analysis of such trials. The same general approach unifies administrative 'league table' ana…
Schell C L, Rathe R J·Bulletin of the Medical Library Association
Medicine has made increasing use of meta-analysis, largely as a quantitative procedure for combining results of clinical trials. Meta-analysis begins with a comprehensive review of the literature. The next step is a systematic analysis of the quality and content of each study. Finally, results are combined statisticall…
Whitehead A, Whitehead J·Statistics in medicine
Meta-analysis provides a systematic and quantitative approach to the summary of results from randomized studies. Whilst many authors have published actual meta-analyses concerning specific therapeutic questions, less has been published about comprehensive methodology. This article presents a general parametric approach…
Villner Pär, Bottai Matteo·Statistics in medicine
Meta-analysis consists of a wide range of methods for summarizing existing research, often by aggregating summary statistics. The dominant methods are the fixed effect and the random effects models, which assume that all studies included in a meta-analysis are similar. In many scenarios, the available studies differ in…
