Numerous statistical models have been proposed for conducting meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies when a gold standard is available. However, in real-world scenarios, the gold standard test may not be perfect due to several factors such as measurement error, non-availability, invasiveness, or high cost. A gene…

Given the plethora of studies today that focus on the same topic, clinicians and other healthcare professionals increasingly rely on meta-analysis to aid in their evidence-based decision-making. This research method, which combines data from multiple studies to produce a single, more precise estimate of effect size, is…

BACKGROUND: Meta-analysis provides a useful statistical tool to effectively estimate treatment effect from multiple studies. When the outcome is binary and it is rare (e.g., safety data in clinical trials), the traditionally used methods may have unsatisfactory performance. METHODS: We propose using importance samplin…

Case-mix heterogeneity across studies complicates meta-analyses. As a result of this, treatments that are equally effective on patient subgroups may appear to have different effectiveness on patient populations with different case mix. It is therefore important that meta-analyses be explicit for what patient population…

Systematic reviews with meta-analysis are essential tools to reliably summarize the effectiveness of health interventions. A meta-analysis based exclusively on a small number of trials will often not be conclusive or may yield false positive results. The estimation of the optimal information size (OIS) can reduce the r…
Uhlmann Lorenz, Jensen Katrin, Kieser Meinhard·BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Network meta-analysis is an extension of the classical pairwise meta-analysis and allows to compare multiple interventions based on both head-to-head comparisons within trials and indirect comparisons across trials. Bayesian or frequentist models are applied to obtain effect estimates with credible or confi…

The meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies is often of interest in screening programs for many diseases. The typical summary statistics for studies chosen for a diagnostic accuracy meta-analysis are often two dimensional: sensitivities and specificities. The common statistical analysis approach for the meta-analy…

Pooling information from multiple, independent studies (meta-analysis) adds great value to medical research. Random effects models are widely used for this purpose. However, there are many different ways of estimating model parameters, and the choice of estimation procedure may be influential upon the conclusions of th…
