Modern meta-analyses do more than combine the effect sizes of a
series of similar studies. Meta-analyses are currently increasingly
applied for any analysis beyond the primary analysis of studies,
and for the analysis of big data. This 26-chapter book was written
for nonmathematical professionals of medical and health care, in
the first place, but, in addition, for anyone involved in any field
involving scientific research. The authors have published over
twenty innovative meta-analyses from the turn of the century till
now. This edition will review the current state of the art, and
will use for that purpose the methodological aspects of the
authors' own publications, in addition to other relevant
methodological issues from the literature. Are there alternative
works in the field? Yes, there are, particularly in the field of
psychology. Psychologists have invented meta-analyses in 1970, and
have continuously updated methodologies. Although very interesting,
their work, just like the whole discipline of psychology, is rather
explorative in nature, and so is their focus to meta-analysis.
Then, there is the field of epidemiologists. Many of them are from
the school of angry young men, who publish shocking news all the
time, and JAMA and other publishers are happy to publish it. The
reality is, of course, that things are usually not as bad as they
seem. Finally, some textbooks, written by professional
statisticians, tend to use software programs with miserable menu
programs and requiring lots of syntax to be learnt. This is
prohibitive to clinical and other health professionals. The current
edition is the first textbook in the field of meta-analysis
entirely written by two clinical scientists, and it consists of
many data examples and step by step analyses, mostly from the
authors' own clinical research.
