| contents | To investigate intervention effects on rare events, meta-analysis techniques are commonly applied in order to assess the accumulated evidence. When it comes to adverse effects in clinical trials, these are often most adequately handled using survival methods. A common-effect model that is able to process data in commonly quoted formats in terms of hazard ratios has been proposed for this purpose. In order to accommodate potential heterogeneity between studies, we have extended the model by Holzhauer to a random-effects approach. The Bayesian model is described in detail, and applications to realistic data sets are discussed along with sensitivity analyses and Monte Carlo simulations to support the conclusions. |
