Una de las decisiones que hay que tomar cuando se lleva a cabo una revisión sistemática es si se debe escoger un modelo de efectos fijos o de efectos aleatorios. De manera muy resumida, se escogen efectos fijos si los estudios incluidos en el metaanálisis son homogéneos, y efectos aleatorios en caso contrario. Este vídeo ilustra la cuestión.

Evidence Based Healthcare and Biostatistics for those who, as many doctors and health workers, hate numbers (thus the name of the blog). It aims to be a way to share ideas, resources, tools and training links, and a place to discuss specific health issues from an epidemiological perspective. Our desktop is a portrait of Karl Pearson (1857 - 1936), a prominent figure in Statistics and author of the book "The Grammar of Science" Please Share your comments!
