Beschreibung:
Neuware - Im Rahmen der Meta-Analyse wird versucht, die in klinischen Versuchen gesammelten Daten zu kombinieren, um Schlußfolgerungen über die Wirksamkeit einer Behandlung abzuleiten. Das Thema ist daher gleichermaßen relevant für Medizin und pharmazeutische Industrie. Einschlägige methodische Ansätze werden kritisch diskutiert und miteinander verglichen. Nützlich sind die ausführlichen Hinweise auf weiterführende Literatur zu Spezialthemen. (10/00). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780471490661
Inhaltsangabe:
With meta-analysis methods playing a crucial role in health research in recent years, this important and clearly-written book provides a much-needed survey of the field.
Meta-analysis provides a framework for combining the results of several clinical trials and drawing inferences about the effectiveness of medical treatments. The move towards evidence-based health care and practice is underpinned by the use of meta-analysis. This book:
* Provides a thorough criticism and an up-to-date survey of meta-analysis methods
* Emphasises the practical approach, and illustrates the methods by numerous examples
* Describes the use of Bayesian methods in meta-analysis
* Includes discussion of appropriate software for each analysis
* Includes numerous references to more advanced treatment of specialist topics
* Refers to software code used in the examples available on the authors' Web site
Practising statisticians, statistically-minded clinicians and health research professionals will benefit greatly from the clear presentation and numerous examples. Medical researchers will grasp the basic principles of meta-analysis, and learn how to apply the various methods.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Alex Sutton has published extensively on meta-analysis methodology generally, and on publication bias specifically in recent years, including a major systematic review on the topic of the methodology that has been developed for meta-analysis. He currently has an active interest in the area of partially reported study information, which is currently under-researched. Dr. Sutton is co-author of a textbook on metaanalysis (Methods for Meta Analysis in Medical Research), which was published by Wiley in 2000.
