How do a systematic review?

Data synthesis Descriptively Mathematically (Meta-analysis)

What is a meta-analysis? "the statistical analysis of the data from a collection of studies in order to synthesise the results". The quantitative synthesis of findings from separate, but related studies ... usually RCTs. Cook, D. J., D. L. Sackett, et al. (1995). “Methodologic guidelines for systematic reviews of randomized control trials in health care from the Potsdam Consultation on Meta-Analysis.” J Clin Epidemiol 48(1): 167-71.

Purposes of meta-analysis Obtain overall summary estimate to improve precision Test whether an “intervention” is effective with increase power Assess whether results of different studies are heterogeneous Greater objectivity, precision and applicability by including all available evidence.

Principles of meta-analysis Produce a “forest plot” Investigate heterogeneity between studies Pool results

“forest plot”

Investigating heterogeneity: Chi-squared test of heterogeneity: when statistically significant heterogeneity, may not be appropriate to pool data and do meta analysis - So when we see heterogeneity, Don’t meta-analyse!!! You may explore the causes of the heterogeneity through sub-group analysis

Calculating summary statistics Systematic review software , e.g. Review Manager (RevMan) , will calculate pooled results for you. STATA has very good MA commands, but some of them have to be installed separately

Guidelines on how to write reviews & meta-analyses: –QUORUM statement* For meta-analysis of RCTs –MOOSE guidelines** For meta-analysis of observational studies *Moher et al. The Lancet 1999;354:1896-1900. **Stroup et al. JAMA 2000;283:2008-2012.
