A pooled analysis is a statistical [[technique]] for combining the results of multiple epidemiological studies. It is one of three types of [[literature review]]s frequently used in [[epidemiology]], along with [[meta-analysis]] and traditional [[narrative literature review]]s. Pooled analyses may be either [[retrospective]] or [[prospective]]. It is often used when the results of individual studies do not allow for a firm [[conclusion]] to be drawn. Unlike meta-analyses, pooled analyses can only be conducted if the included studies used the same study design and statistical models, and if their respective populations were homogeneous. If individual-level data from the included studies is available, the result of a pooled analysis can be considered more reliable. pooled_analysis.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:54by 127.0.0.1
