PDF-(READ)-Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis: A Handbook for Healthcare Research (Statistics

Individual Participant Data MetaAnalysis A Handbook for Healthcare Research provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles and methods that healthcare researchers need when considering conducting or using individual participant data IPD metaanalysis projects Written and edited by researchers with substantial experience in the field the book details key concepts and practical guidance for each stage of an IPD metaanalysis project alongside illustrated examples and summary learning pointsSplit into five parts the book chapters take the reader through the journey from initiating and planning IPD projects to obtaining checking and metaanalysing IPD and appraising and reporting findings The book initially focuses on the synthesis of IPD from randomised trials to evaluate treatment effects including the evaluation of participantlevel effect modifiers treatmentcovariate interactions Detailed extension is then made to specialist topics such as diagnostic test accuracy prognostic factors risk prediction models and advanced statistical topics such as multivariate and network metaanalysis power calculations and missing dataIntended for a broad audience the book will enable the reader toUnderstand the advantages of the IPD approach and decide when it is needed over a conventional systematic review Recognise the scope resources and challenges of IPD metaanalysis projects Appreciate the importance of a multidisciplinary project team and close collaboration with the original study investigators Understand how to obtain check manage and harmonise IPD from multiple studies Examine risk of bias quality of IPD and minimise potential biases throughout the project Understand fundamental statistical methods for IPD metaanalysis including twostage and onestage approaches and their differences and statistical software to implement them Clearly report and disseminate IPD metaanalyses to inform policy practice and future research Critically appraise existing IPD metaanalysis projects Address specialist topics such as effect modification multiple correlated outcomes multiple treatment comparisons nonlinear relationships test accuracy at multiple thresholds multiple imputation and developing and validating clinical prediction models Detailed examples and case studies are provided throughout. .
