Recent Research Trends in Meta-analysis. (FREE FULL TEXT)

The use of meta-analysis (MA), which is placed on top of the evidence hierarchy, in studies has been increasing exponentially. MA has three effect size families. Using the category of effect size families, this paper introduces the important points in the MA process and highlights the recent research trends in this field, such as network MA, meta-analytic structural equation modeling, and diagnostic test accuracy MA. Several reporting standards were established for primary studies and MA. The critical assessment reviews demonstrated that the current quality of nursing MA reporting was low. The problematic areas of the current nursing MA include study search, study selection, risk of bias, publication bias, and additional analysis based on quality assessment. Directions for future research are also presented in this paper.


제가 지금까지 메타분석 전공하고 강의하면서 경험적으로 연구자들이 혼동하는 것을 정리해 보았습니다

최근 연구동향도 소개하려고 했습니다

앞으로 더 연구해서 세부적인 각론을 제시해 연구자들이 메타분석 연구를 읽고 이해하시는데 도움이 되도록 노력하겠습니다

연구자들이 메타분석 연구를 타당하게 수행할수 있다면 더욱 좋겠습니다
