About The Course
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses present results by combining and analysing data from different studies conducted on similar research topics. A systematic review collects all possible studies related to a given topic and design, and reviews and analyses their results.
During the systematic review process, the quality of studies is evaluated, and a statistical meta-analysis of the study results is conducted based on their quality. A meta-analysis is a valid, objective, and scientific method of analysing and combining different results.
Usually, to obtain more reliable results, a meta-analysis is mainly conducted on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), which have a high level of evidence furthermore different studies are conducted on Cohort Studies, Case-Control Studies, Case Series, Case Reports, Ideas, Editorials, Opinions, Animal Research, Invitro Research, these results are the quality of evidence in different levels of the hierarchy of evidence.
