Abstract
MOLINA ARIAS, Manuel. Network meta-analysis. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.71, pp.279-282. ISSN 1139-7632.
Meta-analysis are studies aimed to synthesize all the available information about a specific topic to get a summary measure of outcome. When there are more than two possible comparisons, traditional meta-analysis does not allow stablishing all the possible comparisons if there are not studies with the specific paired comparisons. For these circumstances, network meta-analysis have been designed which can performed multiple direct and indirect comparisons from a network of studies that examines the effects of various treatments more fully.
Keywords : Network meta-analysis; Direct comparisons; Indirect comparisons; Systematic review.
