The Department of Population Health Sciences, within the University of Bristol Medical School, is a leading centre for epidemiology, health services research and public health in the UK. We offer a comprehensive short course programme for postgraduate students, researchers, and health care practitioners.
There are still a few places remaining on our 4-day online short course 'Introduction to Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis' which takes place 27 – 30 June 2023.
This course aims to introduce participants to the methodology of systematic reviews and meta-analysis. It is designed for clinicians, researchers, public health specialists and other health care professionals who want to perform and/or evaluate systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The course predominantly focuses on systematic reviews of healthcare interventions, although much of the material translates to systematic reviews in other areas. Sessions examine issues in systematic reviews and meta-analyses of observational studies.
The course will cover:
why we need systematic reviews and meta-analyses;
the systematic review process;
identifying relevant studies;
selecting studies and data extraction;
types of data and effect sizes;
assessing risk of bias in primary studies;
statistical methods for meta-analysis of dichotomous and numerical (continuous) outcomes;
explaining heterogeneity: subgroup analysis and meta-regression;
meta-analysis and meta-regression in Stata or R;
understanding, investigating and dealing with bias in systematic reviews;
systematic reviews and meta-analysis of observational studies;
assessing certainty of the evidence in a systematic review;
reporting a systematic review; and
critical appraisal of a systematic review.
