Evidence Synthesis for Health Technology Assessment: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Direct, Indirect and Mixed Treatment Evidence 2018
The Health Economics and Health Technology Assessment (HEHTA) Research Group at the University of Glasgow is running a three-day workshop on systematic review and meta-analysis of direct, indirect and mixed treatment evidence. This course is now in its 8th
edition and will be held in Glasgow, from 18-20 April 2018.
Who is the course aimed at?
The course is designed for health technology assessment (HTA) practitioners, such as health economists, health service researchers and healthcare professionals who are interested in learning the
key concepts involved in the design and undertaking of evidence synthesis in the context of HTA.
What are the learning objectives?
At the end of the course, participants should be able to:
· Design and conduct high quality systematic reviews
· Conduct appropriate meta-analyses using Stata
· Explore bias and heterogeneity
· Identify the important aspects of network meta-analysis
What will the course cover?
This course will explore the principles and the practice of conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis through a mixture of presentations from members of the Faculty, together with hands-on computer-based exercises using Stata.
Prerequisites
Participants should have knowledge of basic medical statistics. A basic appreciation of research design would be helpful, as would basic knowledge of Stata.
A complimentary one-day introduction to Stata is available on 17 April for those less familiar with the software.
