Meta-Analysis
CBM 92-13 Meta-Analysis January 1980 through December 1992 337 Citations Prepared by Catherine Roos Selden, M.L.S. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service National Institutes of Health National Library of Medicine Reference Section 8600 Rockville Pike Bethesda, Maryland 20894 1992 SERIES NOTE Current Bibliographies in Medicine (CBM) is a continuation in part of the National Library of Medicine's Literature Search Series, which ceased in 1987 with No. 87-15. In 1989 it also subsumed the Specialized Bibliography Series. Each bibliography in the new series covers a distinct subject area of biomedicine and is intended to fulfill a current awareness function. Citations are usually derived from searching a variety of online databases. NLM databases utilized include MEDLINE, AVLINE, BIOETHICSLINE, CANCERLIT, CATLINE, HEALTH, POPLINE and TOXLINE. The only criterion for the inclusion of a particular published work is its relevance to the topic being presented; the format, ownership, or location of the material is not considered. Comments and suggestions on this series may be addressed to: Karen Patrias, Editor Current Bibliographies in Medicine Reference Section National Library of Medicine Bethesda, MD 20894 Phone: 301-496-6097 Fax: 301-402-1384 Internet: patrias@nlm.nih.gov Ordering Information: Current Bibliographies in Medicine is sold by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. To order the entire CBM series for the calendar year 1992 (approx. 14 bibliographies), send $41.00 ($51.25 foreign) to the Superintendent of Documents citing GPO List ID: CBM92. For your convenience an order blank is given inside the back cover. Orders for individual bibliographies in the series ($3.25, $4.06 foreign) should be sent to the Superintendent of Documents citing the title, CBM number, and the GPO List ID given above. META-ANALYSIS The 1989 amendments to the Public Health Service Act called for the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) to work together to develop and enhance information services in health services research. In response to this mandate, NLM established its Health Services Research Information Program. NLM's highest priorities for this program are to 1) enhance NLM's basic collection development, organization, and dissemination services to provide better coverage of the results of health services research, and 2) promote the use of these services by the health services research community. One area specifically targeted in this program is the development and dissemination of information on techniques and methodologies useful for health services research, such as meta-analysis. The National Library of Medicine defines meta-analysis as "a quantitative method of combining the results of independent studies (usually drawn from the published literature) and synthesizing summaries and conclusions which may be used to evaluate therapeutic effectiveness, plan new studies, etc. It is often an overview of clinical trials." Interest in medical applications of meta-analysis has increased significantly in recent years, although meta-analytic procedures have been widely employed in the social sciences since the early 1970s. Meta-analysis is being used to draw conclusions from results collected from literature or narrative reviews and data pooled from independent studies, often clinical trials. It is a systematic method that uses statistical analysis for extracting, comparing, and combining results from independent studies to get quantifiable outcomes. Meta-analysis also can help to identify gaps in knowledge found in the published literature and thus can help provide guidance for future research. This bibliography includes selected references from many disciplines. References are to works describing the methodology of meta-analysis including coding studies, data analytic methods, differences between results of competing models for meta-analysis, searching the literature, and publication bias. The selected references generally reflect the literature published since 1980 in journals, reports, books, book chapters, academic theses and dissertations, proceedings of meetings, guides, bibliographies and conference papers. A few selected references published before 1980 have been included because of their significance in the evolution of meta-analysis. Meta-analyses which are substantive and do not provide information about the methodology are excluded. Foreign-language works are included although most publications are in English. The bibliography is arranged in eight sections. The first section includes books and reports while the second has general references on meta-analysis and related methodologies. The remaining sections are arranged in specific subject categories; references appear in only one section. We would like to thank Dr. Lawrence Hedges, University of Chicago, for his critical review and editorial suggestions; Dr. David Schriger of the UCLA Medical Center and Ione Auston and Kristine Scannell of the National Library of Medicine for their efforts in conceptualizing the project; and Marlyn Schepartz of the National Library of Medicine for editorial and project assistance. SEARCH STRATEGY A variety of online databases are usually searched in preparing bibliographies in the CBM series. To assist you in updating or otherwise manipulating the material in this search, the strategy used for the NLM's MEDLINE database is given below. Please note that the search strategies presented here differ from individual demand searches in that they are generally broadly formulated and irrelevant citations edited out prior to printing. SS 1 = META-ANALYSIS (MH) OR META-ANALYSIS (PT) SS 2 = ALL METAANALY: SS 3 = (TW) ALL META# AND ALL ANALY: SS 4 = TS :META#ANALY: (TI) OR :META#ANALY: (AB) SS 5 = ODDS RATIO OR SELECTION BIAS SS 6 = (TW) ALL PUBLICATION# AND BIAS SS 7 = 1 OR 2 OR 4 OR 5 OR 6 GRATEFUL MED To make online searching easier and more efficient, the Library offers GRATEFUL MED, microcomputer-based software that provides a user-friendly interface to most NLM databases. This software was specifically developed for health professionals and features multiple choice menus and "fill in the blank" screens for easy search preparation. GRATEFUL MED runs on an IBM PC (or IBM-compatible) with DOS 2.0 or a Macintosh, and requires a Hayes (or Hayes-compatible) modem. It may be purchased from the National Technical Information Service in Springfield, Virginia, for $29.95 (plus $3.00 per order for shipping). For your convenience, an order blank has been enclosed at the back of this bibliography. SAMPLE CITATIONS Citations in this bibliographic series are formatted according to the rules established for Index Medicus*. Sample journal and monograph citations appear below. For journal articles written in a foreign language, the English translation of the title is placed in brackets; for monographs, the title is given in the original language. In both cases the language of publication is shown by a three letter abbreviation appearing at the end of the citation. Note also that a colon (:) may appear within an author's name or article title. The NLM computer system automatically inserts this symbol in the place of a diacritical mark. Journal Article: Authors Article Title Gerbarg ZB, Horwitz RI.
