Hi Vijay & all, So essentially, you'd like to aggregate single-visit epidemiological studies? And this paper [1] is just an example?
It seems like you'd need to identify the factors of interest--e.g. disease, selection criteria, research questions--and aggregate on those. Someone who actually does metaanalyses would be more aware of what factors are relevant/important. It seems like a reasonable use case! -Jodi [1] That URL didn't work, but I found the paper here: http://www.jimronline.net/content/full/2011/102/1601.pdf On 30 Nov 2011, at 15:45, Bulusu, Vijay wrote: > I was just informed that the link below requires a logon.
