主  题:Statistical meta-analysis and its application in evidence-based medicine

内容简介:Evidence-based  medicine is attracting increasing attention to improve decision making  in medical practice. Meta-analysis is a statistical technique widely  used in evidence-based medicine for analytically combining the findings  from independent clinical trials to provide an overall estimation of a  treatment effectiveness. In this talk, I will first give an overview of  the history and the main procedure of conducting a systematic review and  meta-analysis. I will then present some statistical challenges in  meta-analysis, and provide our new developments in this direction to  advance the literature. Our proposed methods not only improve the  existing ones significantly but also share the same virtue of the  simplicity. They are also capable to serve as ‘‘rules of thumb’’ and  will be widely applied in evidence-based medicine.
