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...
متن کاملCapture-recapture models including covariate effects.
Capture-recapture methods are used to estimate the incidence of a disease, using a multiple-source registry. Usually, log-linear methods are used to estimate population size, assuming that not all sources of notification are dependent. Where there are categorical covariates, a stratified analysis can be performed. The multinomial logit model has occasionally been used. In this paper, the author...
متن کاملExploring Treatment by Covariate Interactions Using Subgroup Analysis and Meta-Regression in Cochrane Reviews: A Review of Recent Practice
BACKGROUND Treatment by covariate interactions can be explored in reviews using interaction analyses (e.g., subgroup analysis). Such analyses can provide information on how the covariate modifies the treatment effect and is an important methodological approach for personalising medicine. Guidance exists regarding how to apply such analyses but little is known about whether authors follow the gu...
متن کاملCovariate order tests for covariate effect.
A new approach for constructing tests for association between a random right censored life time variable and a covariate is proposed. The basic idea is to first arrange the observations in increasing order of the covariate and then base the test on a certain point process defined by the observation times. Tests constructed by this approach are robust against outliers in the covariate values or ...
متن کاملModeling Dependent Covariate Subclass Eeects in Bayesian Meta-analysis
Cancers of the breast and endometrium contribute substantially to mortality among women. Studies examining putative links between these cancers and estrogen have reported connicting results. The model presented here provides a natural framework for exploring the eeect of dependent covariate subclasses in explaining the variation in the response. Such subclass eeects can be investigated across s...
