Model-based meta-analysis (MBMA) can be utilized to synthesize literature data and predict drug efficacy, particularly suitable for constructing external comparator arms for non-randomized controlled trials (NRCTs). This study evaluated the reliability of MBMA by comparing covariate models generated through MBMA to ind…

Surrogate endpoints are used when the primary outcome is difficult to measure accurately. Determining if a measure is suitable to use as a surrogate endpoint is a challenging task and a variety of meta-analysis models have been proposed for this purpose. The Daniels and Hughes bivariate model for trial-level surrogate…

OBJECTIVES: Health-related out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE) impedes utilization for maternal health care. We aim to systematically review the magnitude, reasons, associated factors, and implications of OOPE during pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN: The study design is a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS…

BACKGROUND: Some meta-analyses have proved the superiority of non-pharmacological interventions in overactive bladder (OAB), but the best choice is still controversial. AIM: To assess the most effective interventions in female with OAB. METHODS: Studies for relevant randomized controlled trials which compare differen…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The network meta-analysis (NMA) is frequently used to synthesize evidence for multiple treatment comparisons, but its complexity may affect the robustness (or fragility) of the results. The fragility index (FI) is recently proposed to assess the fragility of the results from clinical studies…

Random-effect meta-analysis is commonly applied to estimate overall effects with unexplained heterogeneity across studies. However, standard methods, including (restricted) maximum likelihood (ML or REML), frequently produce (near) zero estimates for between-study variance parameters. Consequently, these methods are re…

This article presents official guidance from the Grading of Recommendations Assessments, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) working group on how to address incoherence when assessing the certainty in the evidence from network meta-analysis. Incoherence represents important differences between direct and indirect estim…

Diagnostic or screening tests are widely used in medical fields to classify patients according to their disease status. Several statistical models for meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies have been developed to synthesize test sensitivity and specificity of a diagnostic test of interest. Because of the cor…

Meta-analyses often include only a small number of studies (≤5). Estimating between-study heterogeneity is difficult in this situation. An inaccurate estimation of heterogeneity can result in biased effect estimates and too narrow confidence intervals. The beta-binominal model has shown good statistical properti…

BACKGROUND: Meta-analysis refers to statistical methodology used to combine data from many studies to obtain an overall assessment of disease risk or treatment outcomes. In this article, the authors review basic methods, interpretation, and limitations of meta-analysis. METHODS: Investigators use meta-analysis approac…
