Im Rahmen der Meta-Analyse wird versucht, die in klinischen Versuchen gesammelten Daten zu kombinieren, um Schlu?folgerungen uber die Wirksamkeit einer Behandlung abzuleiten. Das Thema ist daher gleicherma?en relevant fur Medizin und pharmazeutische Industrie. Einschlagige methodische Ansatze werden kritisch diskutiert und miteinander verglichen. Nutzlich sind die ausfuhrlichen Hinweise auf weiterfuhrende Literatur zu Spezialthemen. (10/00)

Über Autor(innen)

Alex Sutton has published extensively on meta-analysis methodology generally, and on publication bias specifically in recent years, including a major systematic review on the topic of the methodology that has been developed for meta-analysis. He currently has an active interest in the area of partially reported study information, which is currently under-researched. Dr. Sutton is co-author of a textbook on metaanalysis (Methods for Meta Analysis in Medical Research), which was published by Wiley in 2000.
