25 Sep 2019 TI Methods Speaker Series: Impact of including individual patient data in Network Meta-Analysis
Adding individual patient data (IPD) to conventional and network meta-analysis (NMA) has been argued to improve the accuracy and precision of estimates. This talk will describe an NMA for first-line antiretroviral therapy regimens for treating HIV. The analysis additionally included IPD data from three of the critical trials in the network. The influence of the IPD data will be described, along with a subsequent simulation study that explored which characteristics: network size, density, proportion of IPD, and nature of effect-modification – would impact results.
