A way to calculate an average
Estimates an ‘average’ or ‘common’ effect
Improves the precision of an estimate by using all available data

Why Metaanalysis..
Analysis of analyses More reliable information
Precision in estimating effects Garbage in garbage outFile drawer effect

Expressing in words
Risk• the chances of falling were one in four, or 25%
Odds• the chances of falling were one third of the
chances of not falling
• one person fell for every three that didn’t fallthe chances of falling were 3 to 1 against

Risk ratio (Relative Risk)

• risk ratio = 119/164 = 0.726 = 0.92130/164 0.793

Expressing risk ratios and odds ratios
Risk ratio 0.92the risk of still being dyspeptic on treatment was about 92% of the risk on control
treatment reduced the risk by about 8%
treatment reduced the risk to 92% of what it was
Odds ratio 0.69treatment reduced the odds by about 30%
the odds of still being dyspeptic in treated patien ts were about two-thirds of what they were in controls
