متن کاملComparative efficiency research (COMER): meta-analysis of cost-effectiveness studies
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to create a new meta-analysis method for cost-effectiveness studies using comparative efficiency research (COMER). METHODS We built a new score named total incremental net benefit (TINB), with inverse variance weighting of incremental net benefits (INB). This permits determination of whether an alternative is cost-effective, given a specific threshold (TIN...

Our argument utilizes the clinical setting of carotid atherosclerosis management where specific clinical questions are answered by using a variety of comparative effectiveness designs. Observational studies should not be ruled out when designing studies ...
متن کاملPoint:Counterpoint: Skeletal muscle mechanical efficiency does/does not increase with age POINT: SKELETAL MUSCLE MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY DOES INCREASE WITH AGE
We thank Dr. Ortega for the opportunity to debate the concept that aging affects exercise efficiency. From the outset we must acknowledge that, indeed, some studies report an age-related reduction task efficiency during walking and other rather complex tasks (2, 12, 20, 21). However, in contrast, our recent study of leg cycling in centenarians (28), as well as other work focused more specifical...
