Standard error estimation in meta-analysis of studies reporting medians
Sean McGrath, Stephan Katzenschlager, Alexandra J. Zimmer +3
We consider the setting of an aggregate data meta-analysis of a continuous outcome of interest. When the distribution of the outcome is skewed, it is often the case that some prima…
Modeling Treatment Effect Modification in Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in an Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis
Yan Liu, Mireille Schnitzer, Guanbo Wang +6
Effect modification occurs while the effect of the treatment is not homogeneous across the different strata of patient characteristics. When the effect of treatment may vary from i…
Estimating the sample mean and standard deviation from commonly reported quantiles in meta-analysis
Sean McGrath, XiaoFei Zhao, Russell Steele +4
Researchers increasingly use meta-analysis to synthesize the results of several studies in order to estimate a common effect. When the outcome variable is continuous, standard meta…
Two-sample aggregate data meta-analysis of medians
Sean McGrath, Hojoon Sohn, Russell Steele +1
We consider the problem of meta-analyzing two-group studies that report the median of the outcome. Often, these studies are excluded from meta-analysis because there are no well-es…
One-sample aggregate data meta-analysis of medians
Sean McGrath, XiaoFei Zhao, Zhi Zhen Qin +2
An aggregate data meta-analysis is a statistical method that pools the summary statistics of several selected studies to estimate the outcome of interest. When considering a contin…
