Usually a single study will not fully address these issues and it is desirable to synthesize evidence from multiple sources. This book aims to provide a practical guide to evidence synthesis for the purpose of decision making, starting with a simple single parameter model, where all studies estimate the same quantity (pairwise meta-analysis) and progressing to more complex multi-parameter structures (including meta-regression, mixed treatment comparisons, Markov models of disease progression, and epidemiology models). A comprehensive, coherent framework is adopted and estimated using Bayesian methods. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKey features:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  *A coherent approach to evidence synthesis from multiple sources. *Focus is given to Bayesian methods for evidence synthesis that can be integrated within cost-effectiveness analyses in a probabilistic framework using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation. *Provides methods to statistically combine evidence from a range of evidence structures. *Emphasizes the importance of model critique and checking for evidence consistency. *Presents numerous worked examples, exercises and solutions drawn from a variety of medical disciplines throughout the book. *WinBUGS code is provided for all examples.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvidence Synthesis for Decision Making in Healthcare\u003c\/i\u003e is intended for health economists, decision modelers, statisticians and others involved in evidence synthesis, health technology assessment, and economic evaluation of health technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45202252529815,"sku":"9780470061091","price":6268.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780470061091.webp?v=1767307700","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/evidence-synthesis-for-decision-making-in-healthcare-9780470061091","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
