Abstract:
|
As a statistical technique to combine information across various data sources to improve precision of results, meta-analysis has been widely utilized in clinical projects which consist of multiple studies. Relative risk (RR) or risk difference (RD) are of major interests in many clinical trials. Multiple statistical procedures for analysis of RR and RD have been available in literature. However, most of them have some limitations and may lead to totally different conclusions, especially in the situation of rare events. We examined the advantages and weakness of those methods, conventional or proposed recently, approximate or exact, and then applied to a real clinical project including 19 phase 2/3 clinical studies.
