- Title
Clinical application of findings of clinical trials and systematic reviews.
- Authors
Newcombe, R. G.
- Abstract
The article focuses on clinical application of findings of clinical trials and systematic reviews. Systematic review uses objective, reproducible criteria to determine which studies yield the most reliable information. The results of the selected studies are then combined, giving due weight to the larger and hence more informative ones, using a mathematical process known as meta-analysis. Professor Ulrich Helfenstein presents an interesting and informative account of alternative modelling approaches used in meta-analysis of results from clinical trials.
