Network meta-analysis: introduction and an example that compares devices for PFO closure.
Over the last 20 years, the number of published meta-analyses has exploded and, therefore, clinicians have become more familiar with this study design. The results of different trials are statistically combined to produce a more precise estimate [i.e. an estimate with a narrower confidence interval (CI)]. When a meta-analysis is performed after a credible systematic review, the results become m...
متن کاملPFO Closure: CLOSURE.
T he optimal secondary prevention strategy in patients presenting with a cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) and a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is uncertain. In the United States, closure of a PFO using a percutaneous transcatheter device is currently considered investigational by the Food and Drug Administration. Nonetheless, many patients in this setting are treated off-label ...
متن کاملMultivariate Network Meta-Analysis: An Example In Type 2 Diabetes For The Analysis Of Glycaemic Control.
Methods • Network meta-analyses are commonly conducted within a Bayesian framework to enable the ranking of interventions, based on the probability of each treatment to be associated with the best efficacy. • Multivariate models have been developed to deal with correlation between outcomes as they allow to account for the within-study correlation between endpoints. • Moreover, the multivariate ...

15 صفحه اولNetwork Meta-analysis of Randomized Trials on the Safety of Vascular Closure Devices for Femoral Arterial Puncture Site Haemostasis
BACKGROUND Vascular closure devices (VCDs) are widely used to achieve haemostasis after procedures requiring percutaneous common femoral artery (CFA) puncture. There is no consensus regarding the benefits of VCDs, including potential reduction in procedure time, length of hospital stay or time to patient ambulation. No robust evidence exists that VCDs reduce the incidence of puncture site compl...
