Dear Colleague,
Warm spring greetings from Ipswich, the county town of Suffolk in the east
of England.
This morning we had our journal club in which one of our trainees presented
this paper published recently in the Lancet. "Incident diabetes in clinical
trials of antihypertensive drugs: a network meta-analysis.” Lancet. 2007 Jan
20;369(9557):201-7
Abstract @ http://tinyurl.com/2tvfnx
Our journal club is divided in to three sections roughly of 15 minutes each;
the presentation of the paper, critical appraisal of the paper and its
implications for practice. we used the standard critical appraisal worksheet
for systematic reviews from CASP and struggled a bit. The worksheet is
available @ http://www.phru.nhs.uk/learning/casp_s.review_tool.pdf
Is any one aware of a critical appraisal work sheet for network meta
analysis?
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Warm regards & very best wishes,
Badri
