Is network meta-analysis as valid as standard pairwise meta-analysis? It all depends on the distribution of effect modifiers

Jansen, Jeroen P.; Naci, Huseyin - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2013

Background In the last decade, network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials has been introduced as an extension of pairwise meta-analysis. The advantage of network meta-analysis over standard pairwise meta-analysis is that it facilitates indirect comparisons of multiple interventions...

Methodological Considerations in Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

Alemayehu, Demissie - International Institute of Social and Economic Sciences - 2014

In decision making regarding optimal resource allocation to safeguard public health, policymakers and healthcare providers rely on the availability and reliability of data about the relative costs and benefits of competing treatment options. One such an approach is based on cost effectiveness...
