Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis - A Handbook For Healthcare Research

90,03€ + 10% CARD

 Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis: A Handbook for Healthcare Research provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles and methods that healthcare researchers need when considering, conducting or using individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis projects. Written and edited by researchers with substantial experience in the field, the book details key concepts and practical guidance for each stage of an IPD meta-analysis project, alongside illustrated examples and summary learning points. Split into five parts, the book chapters take the reader through the journey from initiating and planning IPD projects to obtaining, checking, and meta-analysing IPD, and appraising and reporting findings. The book initially focuses on the synthesis of IPD from randomised trials to evaluate treatment effects, including the evaluation of participant-level effect modifiers (treatment-covariate interactions). Detailed extension is then made to specialist topics such as diagnostic test accuracy, prognostic factors, risk prediction models, and advanced statistical topics such as multivariate and network meta-analysis, power calculations, and missing data. Intended for a broad audience, the book will enable the reader to: <ul> <li>Understand the advantages of the IPD approach and decide when it is needed over a conventional systematic review</li> <li>Recognise the scope, resources and challenges of IPD meta-analysis projects</li> <li>Appreciate the importance of a multi-disciplinary project team and close collaboration with the original study investigators</li> <li>Understand how to obtain, check, manage and harmonise IPD from multiple studies</li> <li>Examine risk of bias (quality) of IPD and minimise potential biases throughout the project</li> <li>Understand fundamental statistical methods for IPD meta-analysis, including two-stage and one-stage approaches (and their differences), and statistical software to implement them</li> <li>Clearly report and disseminate IPD meta-analyses to inform policy, practice and future research</li> <li>Critically appraise existing IPD meta-analysis projects</li> <li>Address specialist topics such as effect modification, multiple correlated outcomes, multiple treatment comparisons, non-linear relationships, test accuracy at multiple thresholds, multiple imputation, and developing and validating clinical prediction models</li> </ul> Detailed examples and case studies are provided throughout.

Exploratory Subgroup Analyses In Clinical Research

by Gerd Rosenkranz

104,61€ + 10% CARD

 This essential guide on subgroup analyses in the emerging area of personalized medicine covers the issues of subgroup analyses from a practical and a theoretical/methodological point of view. The practical part introduces the issues using examples from the literature where subgroup analyses led to unexpected or difficult-to-interpret results, which have been interpreted differently by different stakeholders. On the technical side, the book addresses selection and selection bias variance reduction by borrowing information from the full population in estimating a subgroup effect. To this end, subgroup analysis will be linked to statistical modelling, and subgroup selection to model selection. This connection makes the techniques developed for model selection applicable to subgroup analysis. Beginning with a history of subgroup analysis, Exploratory Subgroup Analyses in Clinical Research offers chapters that cover: objectives and current practice of subgroup analyses; pitfalls of subgroup analyses; subgroup analysis and modeling; hierarchical models in subgroup analysis; and selection bias in regression. It also looks at the predicted individual treatment effect and offers an outlook of the topic in its final chapter. <ul> <li>Focuses on the statistical aspects of subgroup analysis</li> <li>Filled with classroom and conference-workshop tested material</li> <li>Written by a leading expert in the field of subgroup analysis</li> <li>Complemented with a companion website featuring downloadable datasets and examples for teaching use</li> </ul> Exploratory Subgroup Analyses in Clinical Research is an ideal book for medical statisticians and biostatisticians and will greatly benefit physicians and researchers interested in personalized medicine.
