| Title |
PHS: Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis: A Practical Approach (Core Methods) |
| Description |
20.10. + 22. - 23.10. 2026
As part of their PhD, many students will have to do one or several systematic reviews, and some students will also want to combine results from several studies in meta-analysis. This intensive 3-day course will cover the principles and practical steps of systematic reviews, including the design and conduct of comprehensive literature searches, data extraction and presentation, assessment of bias in the included studies, synthesis of data and examination of publication bias and other biases. The statistical methods for combining results in meta-analysis will also be covered and the course will include practical exercises in R.
Special:
Students should have a basic understanding of the design, analysis and strengths and weaknesses of randomised clinical trials and epidemiological studies.
