Network meta‐analysis including treatment by covariate interactions: Consistency can vary across covariate values
BACKGROUND Many reviews aim to compare numerous treatments and report results stratified by subgroups (eg, by disease severity). In such cases, a network meta-analysis model including treatment by covariate interactions can estimate the relative effects of all treatment pairings for each subgroup of patients. Two key assumptions underlie such models: consistency of treatment effects and consist...

An important issue arising in therapeutic studies of hepatitis C and HIV is the identification of and adjustment for covariates associated with viral eradication and resistance. Analyses of such data are complicated by the fact that eradication is an occult event that is not directly observable, resulting in unique types of censored observations that do not arise in other competing risks settin...
