¿Qué es un meta-análisis?

Escribe: Carolina Shulman Estudiante de Medicina, Universidad de Buenos Aires Correo electrónico: carolinashu@hotmail.com Hoy en día el estándar de referencia en la evaluación de la eficacia de los tratamientos son los grandes ensayos controlados aleatorizados. Lamentablemente, no siempre hay ensayos clínicos aleatorizados para aclarar todos los temas posibles. En otras ocasiones, los resultados son contradictorios o no se ha hallado una respuesta definitiva.

Para estas situaciones, existe otra metodología para examinar los resultados de los ensayos clínicos, llamada meta-análisis. Un meta-análisis es una re-evaluación sistemática y ponderada de los resultados de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados. El uso del meta-análisis como herramienta surge ante la explosión de información en la investigación clínica, y es una manera de resumir y replantear los resultados de diferentes estudios sobre problemas relacionados. ¿Qué quiere decir "sesgo de publicación"? Conclusiones. CL1 - Resources: What is a meta-analysis? The Cochrane Collaboration open learning material. Meta-analysis is the use of statistical methods to combine results of individual studies.

This allows us to make the best use of all the information we have gathered in our systematic review by increasing the power of the analysis. By statistically combining the results of similar studies we can improve the precision of our estimates of treatment effect, and assess whether treatment effects are similar in similar situations. The decision about whether or not the results of individual studies are similar enough to be combined in a meta-analysis is essential to the validity of the result, and will be covered in the next module on heterogeneity.

In this module we will look at the process of combining studies and outline the various methods available. There are many approaches to meta-analysis. Pooling participants (not a valid approach to meta-analysis). This method effectively considers the participants in all the studies as if they were part of one big study. Terms of Use.
