Generating credible evidence for health care decision making: advancing methods for evidence synthesis and meta-analysis [ 2015 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Matthew Page (Principal investigator)

Brief description Systematic reviews often underpin recommendations in guidelines and are therefore critical to the translation of research evidence into practice. However, weaknesses in the conduct of reviews can yield biased results, which may lead to patients receiving ineffective or harmful treatments. During my fellowship I will develop and evaluate novel methods to assess and adjust for bias in reviews, to improve the credibility of evidence needed to make well-informed choices about health care.
