Systematic review and meta analaysis course - part 1
- 1. Systematic Review and Meta-analysis AHMED SAID NEGIDA Part 1
- 2. Learning objectives 1. Why systematic reviews? 2. Systematic reviews vs. Literature review 3. Types of Systematic reviews 4. Steps of systematic reviews 5. Writing a systematic review protocol 6. Searching the literature, exporting results and checking duplications 7. Strategies for abstract screening
- 3. Steps of systematic review Research Question Eligibility criteria Searching literature Screening Quality assessment Presenting findings
- 4. Summarize the Literature Less Bias: Transparent and reproducible More power Source for Evidence-Based practice Why systematic reviews?
- 5. No, because about 32% of a set of studies with at least 1,000 citations were either contradicted by or reported stronger effects than subsequent studies. The NEED for systematic reviews Can we reply on high quality, well-designed, single studies rather than systematic reviews?
- 6. Yes. For example: A systematic review about sudden infant death syndrome and sleeping position could have saved 60,000 infant lives in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, and Australia if it was performed any time after 1970. Systematic reviews may have a life-saving potential !
- 7. Systematic reviews are rapidly replacing traditional narrative reviews as a means to summarize and appraise literature.
- 8. Systematic review vs. Literature review Systematic review Literature review EVIDENCE High evidence Low evidence METHOD Systematic steps according to a detailed protocol Expert opinion “no protocol and no systematic steps” BIAS Low bias High bias REPRODUCIBILITY Yes Not reproducible SCOPE Narrow scope Wide scope
- 9. Meta-analysis Quantitative evidence synthesis; a process of combining multiple studies together to give one effect size with a large power (large sample size). Combined Effect Estimate Study 3 Study 1 Study 2
- 10. Advantages of meta-analysis? • When there are conflicting studies. • To produce a precise effect estimate. • Large power so a small but clinically significant effect size will be apparent.
- 11. Types of systematic reviews Intervention review Systematic reviews of observational studies Diagnostic review Clinical trials Observational studies (Cross sectional, Cohort, and case control) Diagnostic test accuracy studies (DTA)
- 12. Steps of systematic review Research Question Eligibility criteria Searching literature Screening Quality assessment Presenting findings
- 13. #1: Formulating the Research Question 1. Specific “narrow scope”. 2. PICO Population Intervention Comparator Outcome 3. Supported by clear eligibility criteria. ?
- 14. #2: Define eligibility criteria Inclusion criteria Exclusion criteria Criteria based on which you will include some studies and exclude others
- 15. Major domains of eligibility criteria • Age range? Minimum sample size? Gender? • Definition of condition? Disease stage?Population • Form of drug? Mode of administration? Dose? • First line of second line? Accepted adjuvants?Intervention • Placebo? or active comparator? • Form of drug? Mode of administration? Dose?Comparator • Efficacy measured on (….. / ….. / ….). • Safety “reporting adverse events”…..Outcome • Interventional? Randomized or Quasi experimental? • Observational? Prospective or retrospective? • Minimum follow up duration? Cross over or parallel? Study design
- 16. How to write a Systematic Review Protocol? Open the lecture notes (PRISMA-P checklist)
- 17. Your Turn, NOW! 1- Formulate a research question 2- Choose relevant keywords 3- Define eligibility criteria GROUP ACTIVITY
- 18. #3: Searching the literature Medical Electronic Databases Conference Proceedings Relevant Books and Reviews
- 19. Identify relevant keywords Improve your search keywords [MESH] Formulate the search strategy • Try to involve all studies relevant to your research question. • Search multiple databases. • Seek help from experts in your specialty. #NOW: open lecture notes (Searching Medical Electronic Databases)
- 20. Do NOT forget: 1- To remove duplications if you retrieve studies from different sources. [Using EndNote or Mendeley] 2- Search results and screening are reported as PRIMA flow diagram. [Using Review Manager] #NOW: open lecture notes (Checking duplicates + PRIMA flow diagram)
- 21. #4: Screening of retrieved studies Screening titles Screening abstracts Screening full-text articles
- 22. How to perform screening? Hand screening (Printed titles/abstracts) Online sheet (e.g. Google spreadsheet) Using End Note software Semi-automated (using Abstrackr @CEBM)
- 23. Hand screening of printed titles/abstracts • CITATION • DECISION • REASON “code” Using a printed screening form for each paper Reason code is used to save time from repeating reasons. See our example in lecture notes (Page no )
- 24. Screening using online sheet (titles ONLY)
- 25. Screening using EndNote software
- 28. It is important that each step (Literature search, screening, selection of full text article, data extraction, and quality assessment) is done by multiple reviewers to avoid possible individual errors. Disagreements should be resolved by discussion or by opinion of another reviewer.
Notas del editor
- Results of isolated randomized controlled trials are frequently contradicted by subsequent studies (Ioannidis, 2005). Under the most rigorous study design conditions, a well-planned single study, even if prospective and randomized, rarely provides definitive results, and primary studies tend to overestimate treatment effects. A recent study reported that 32% of a set of studies with at least 1,000 citations were either contradicted by or reported stronger effects than subsequent studies (Ioannidis, 2005). Relying on single high-profile clinical trials can therefore be harmful to patients' health. Well-designed randomized controlled trials are excellent when looking at effectiveness, though many fall short in quality reporting of safety and adverse events associated with an intervention. Quality systematic reviews often have increased power and decreased bias as compared with the individual studies they include, and the careful pooling of treatment effects can provide the most accurate overall assessment of an intervention. The life-saving potential of a systematic review conducted to examine infant sleeping position and sudden infant death syndrome. Although advice to place infants on their backs to sleep was widely available in the early 1990s, the authors of the sudden infant death syndrome study showed that the mortality benefit of this sleep position would have been apparent if a systematic review had been performed any time after 1970 (Gilbert et al., 2005). Such a review potentially could have saved 60,000 infant lives in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, and Australia.
- We use meta-analysis to produce a more precise estimate of treatment effect so that small but clinically important effects become apparent among a group of apparently conflicting single trials.
