An empirical assessment of meta-analysis estimates from multi-level studies

A conventional meta-analysis may be performed using studies which are available at individual patient level (IPD) or aggregate level (AD). Presently however, meta-analysis that combine the two levels of studies is increasingly common. The implications of utilising different levels of data on the ove...

The implications of utilising different levels of data on the overall estimates have not been fully explored. Objective: This study examined the efficacy of the estimates of overall treatment effect from AD, IPD and the mixed AD: IPD studies, and investigated how they differ from the true treatment effect. Additionally, this study investigated the influence of the ratio of AD: IPD on the precision of the overall treatment effects estimates. The bias, root mean-square-error (RMSE) and coverage probability were used to assess the efficiency of the overall estimates. Results: The results showed that the IPD meta-analysis produced better estimates in terms of RMSE compared to AD meta-analysis and the mixed AD:IPD meta-analysis.
