Methods for meta-analysis and meta-regression of binomial data: concepts and tutorial with Stata command metapreg
understood. The generalized linear models framework is well-established and provides a natural and optimal model for meta-analysis, network meta-analysis, and meta-regression of proportions. Nonetheless, ...
Accuracy of HPV E6/E7 oncoprotein tests to detect high-grade cervical lesions: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
and cancer. We included studies reporting data on oncoprotein test accuracy detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse. Random effects logistic regression models were applied for ...
Sex differences in diabetic foot ulcer severity and outcome in Belgium
study. Data were collected on demographics, medical history, current DFU and outcome. For data analysis, a Generalized Estimating Equation model and an adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression ...
Bottom-up approach to build a ‘precision’ risk factor classification for diabetic foot ulcer healing. Proof-of-concept
presentation. Predictors of healing were identified using multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression. Multivariable models were built using backward regression with multiple imputation of missing values ...
Effect of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis on FEV1 in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis: a European Cystic Fibrosis Society Patient Registry analysis.
of ABPA (main explanatory variable) on FEV1 while controlling for other prognostic factors, a linear mixed effects regression model was applied. RESULTS: In 2008, the mean (± SD) FEV1 percent predicted ...

Triage of women with equivocal or low-grade cervical cytology results: a meta-analysis of the HPV test positivity rate.
systems. The meta-analysis was restricted to studies, published between 1991 and 2007. A random-effect model was applied for meta-analytical pooling and the influence of covariates on the HPV positivity rate ...
Description of cervical cancer mortality in Belgium using Bayesian age-period-cohort models.
the Netherlands was applied to Belgian uterus cancer deaths to estimate the corrected number of cervix cancer deaths (corCVX). A Bayesian loglinear Poisson-regression model was performed to disentangle ...
Immediate referral to colposcopy versus cytological surveillance for minor cervical cytological abnormalities in the absence of HPV test.
with minor cytological abnormalities on cervical screening. Many authorities recommend surveillance as spontaneous regression might occur. However, attendance for cytological follow-up decreases with ...
Cost-DALY comparison of hip replacement care in 12 Belgian hospitals
(costs and DALY s) were obtained by relating the observed value to the predicted value obtained from the linear regression model. RESULTS: We registered a total of 246.5 DALY s for the 12 hospital ...
