What is a network meta-analysis?
Network meta-analysis is a statistical method
that enables the comparison of three or more
interventions simultaneously and goes beyond
simple pair-wise comparisons. It tells us which
treatment option is the best.
Who is this for?
Clinicians, students and researchers who
have basic knowledge of biostatistics and
epidemiology and are interested in conducting
network meta-analysis. Experience in conducting
systematic reviews will be advantageous, or having attended
the Primer in Network Meta-analysis Systematic Reviews.
Format:
Online workshop: 4-5 hours of self-study per week: watching
recorded lectures, hands-on exercises in STATA and weekly
synchronous Q&A sessions.
Aims and Objectives:
The aim of the workshop is to develop local and regional capacity in
conducting systematic reviews using network meta-analysis in STATA
for health researchers, decision makers and students in HIV/AIDs.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
1. Understand and apply pairwise and network meta-analysis (NMA) in STATA
2. Evaluate NMA assumptions and confidence in NMA results
3. Appropriately report NMA results
