The advantage of using meta-analysis lies in its ability in providing a quantitative summary of the findings from multiple studies. The aim of this dissertation was first to conduct a simulation study in order to understand what factors (sample size, between-study correlation, and percent of missing data) have a significant effect on meta-analysis estimates and whether using univariate or multivariate meta-analysis would produce different estimates.
The second goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of clinical decision support systems CDSS on diabetes care management by conducting three separate univariate meta-analyses and one multivariate meta-analysis. CDSS are health information …
