Synopsis

The techniques of meta-analysis, decision analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis play an increasingly important role in the formulation of clinical practice guidelines and in decisions about health policy and financing. The design and implementation of studies that use these methods are explained with details of how to interpret results. Sufficient detail is presented to enable a novice to do a simple analysis and those who already carry out such studies will find a mine of helpful information herein. The book will also help policy-makers to better understand the results of such studies and their implications in practice.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a lucid, comprehensive introduction to meta-analysis, decision analysis, and cost-effectiveness analysis. These three closely related methods have become even more important for synthesizing research since the first edition was published in 1994. And they have gained legitimacy as tools for guiding health policy. In the Second Edition, Petitti has added new material on cumlative meta-analysis and the exploration of heterogeneity, incorporated recommendations for standardizing the conduct of cost-effectiveness analysis, and updated the rest of the text.
