Extending DerSimonian and Laird's methodology to perform multivariate random effects meta‐analyses
Abstract
Multivariate meta‐analysis is increasingly used in medical statistics. In the univariate setting, the non‐iterative method proposed by DerSimonian and Laird is a simple and now standard way of performing random effects meta‐analyses. We propose a natural and easily implemented multivariate extension of this procedure which is accessible to applied researchers and provides a much less computationally intensive alternative to existing methods. In a simulation study, the proposed procedure performs similarly in almost all ways to the more established iterative restricted maximum likelihood approach. The method is applied to some real data sets and an extension to multivariate meta‐regression is described. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“Typically, relatively simple procedures are used when combining the results, although more sophisticated methodology is also available [1]; for example, meta-regression [2, 3] provides the means to investigate the associations of study-level covariates with the treatment effect and explain between-study heterogeneity.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
