Synthesizing Clinical Evidence for Economic Evaluation [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
A key aspect of economic evaluation is the estimation of clinical parameters, in particular relating to treatment effects. Network meta-analysis is an extension of pairwise metaanalysis that provides estimates of the relative effectiveness of two or more treatments. These are derived from a statistical analysis of a connected network of clinical trial comparisons. Estimates are obtained that correspond to a consistency constraint on the treatment effect scale used for the analysis (δAB=δAC−δBC), where δAB is the indirect estimate of the effect of treatment A compared with treatment B and δAC and δBB represent the direct estimates of the effects of A versus C and B versus C, respectively, and best fit the treatment effect estimates from individual trials.
