ABSTRACT

Corresponding author: Denise Moore Danos Contact Information: ddanos@lsuhsc.edu DOI: 10.12746/swrccc.v8i33.641 From the analytical point of view, either a fixed or random effect statistical model can be used in a meta-analysis. While a fixed effect model assumes that all studies are estimating the same (fixed) treatment effect, a random effect model assumes that individual studies selected for a meta-analysis are random samples from a larger population of studies. We will briefly discuss which model is more appropriate after a discussion of the limitations of a meta-analysis. Note that these limitations are naturally associated with a meta-analysis and should be addressed appropriately in the planning stage.
