Cope, Shannon; Chan, Keith; Jansen, Jeroen P. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Background: Network meta-analysis (NMA) of survival data with a multidimensional treatment effect has been introduced as an alternative to NMA based on the proportional hazards assumption. However, these flexible models have some limitations, such as the use of an approximate likelihood based on discrete hazards, rather than a likelihood for…

Pedder, Hugo; Boucher, Martin; Dias, Sofia; Bennetts, Margherita; Welton, Nicky J. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Time-course model-based network meta-analysis (MBNMA) has been proposed as a framework to combine treatment comparisons from a network of randomized controlled trials reporting outcomes at multiple time-points. This can explain heterogeneity/inconsistency that arises by pooling studies with different follow-up times and allow inclusion of studies…

Freeman, Suzanne C.; Carpenter, James R. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2017
Network meta-analysis (NMA) combines direct and indirect evidence from trials to calculate and rank treatment estimates. While modelling approaches for continuous and binary outcomes are relatively well developed, less work has been done with time-to-event outcomes. Such outcomes are usually analysed using Cox proportional hazard (PH) models.…
