  • A Brief Introduction of Recursive Cumulative Meta-analysis

    Meta-analyses include meta-analysis of the published literature (MPL) and meta-analysis of individual patient data (MIPD). Recursive cumulative meta-analysis is a method used to reorganize the secondary analysis data based on original studies thus to ensure a timely update, in addition, it can also be used to analyze the data from longer followup of existing trials. By using this method, with the each newly included or updated study, the change of pooled effect size in each pooled step can be detected, therefore, the bias/heterogeneity and stability of pooled results can be evaluated. In this article, we briefly introduced the concept of recursive cumulative meta-analysis and an example was used to illustrate this method.
