متن کاملPredictive distributions were developed for the extent of heterogeneity in meta-analyses of continuous outcome data
OBJECTIVES Estimation of between-study heterogeneity is problematic in small meta-analyses. Bayesian meta-analysis is beneficial because it allows incorporation of external evidence on heterogeneity. To facilitate this, we provide empirical evidence on the likely heterogeneity between studies in meta-analyses relating to specific research settings. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Our analyses includ...
متن کاملActivated protein C in sepsis: down but not out, yet
We read with interest the recent commentary by Friedrich and coworkers [1], in which they consider whether the current evidence supports treatment for severe sepsis with drotrecogin alfa (activated). They conclude that the survival benefit is weak in patients with severe sepsis treated with activated protein C (APC) [1]. However, this conclusion has a number of limitations. First, the authors h...
