Practical Approach to Conducting a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Systematic reviews are critical for providing insights into the accuracy and reliability of different tests employed in research. Additionally, meta-analyses are necessary for synthesizing the information from multiple systematic reviews, consolidating the data. These tests are often crucial for informing clinicians and policymakers and providing insight for future research. As a result, it is important for researchers to effectively develop techniques to conduct systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs). Practical Approach to Conducting a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis focuses on the typically undiscussed practical aspects and techniques or web tools that can help conduct a faster and more efficient SRMA. It details techniques for navigating SRMAs smoothly and identifying the common pitfalls before embarking on an SRMA project. Covering topics such as umbrella reviews, screening articles, and exclusion criteria, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, data specialists, professionals, scholars, academicians, and more.
