Evidence Synthesis Part II: Quantitative Pooling
2018
This video is intended to provide researchers with an introduction to the second part of conducting a meta-analysis: quantitatively pooling. The goal of this meta-analysis is to synthesize multiple published estimates from parameters of interest (such as disease-related mortality or the efficacy of a treatment) into a single input for use in a decision model.
This video is part of the Conducting Cost-Effectiveness Analysis with VA Data (HCEA) free course offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Health Services Research and Development group focused on cost-effectiveness analysis and budget impact analyses. There were a total of 12 videos produced between January and April 2018.
Other videos in this series include:
- New Recommendations for the Conduct of Cost-Effectiveness Analysis from the Second Panel on Cost-Effectiveness Analysis in Health and Medicine
- An Overview of Decision Analysis
- Estimating the Cost of an Intervention
- VA Costs: HERC versus MCA
- Introduction to Effectiveness, Patient Preferences, and Utilities
- Estimating Transition Probabilities for a Model
- Medical Decision Making and Decision Analysis
- Evidence Synthesis to Derive Model Transition Probabilities (Part I - Systematic Literature Review)
- Sensitivity Analyses
- Budget Impact Analysis
- How Can Cost Effectiveness Analysis be Made More Relevant to U.S. Health Care?
