What can we do about indirect comparisons to make it better and more efficient rather than using the usual technique?
What are the indirect comparisons in terms of the efficacy of different drugs?
What experiences have you had when the type of one-to-one approach is better?
In today’s episode, Daniel and I talk about these questions and discuss more the following points:
- Bucher vs MAIC – advantages and disadvantages
- Methodik MAIC
- NICE technical document (http://nicedsu.org.uk/technical-support-documents/population-adjusted-indirect-comparisons-maic-and-stc/) – including R code
- Which baseline variables to include?
- What to do if you have multiple studies on one side?
- patient-level data meta-analyses
- literature studies meta-analyses
- How to compute the “average” baseline variables?
- How to adjust for baseline variables?
- What are the different ways to adjust? (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30661638)
- How does it relate to network meta-analyses

Join The Effective Statistician LinkedIn group
This group was set up to help each other to become more effective statisticians. We’ll run challenges in this group, e.g. around writing abstracts for conferences or other projects. I’ll also post into this group further content.
I want to help the community of statisticians, data scientists, programmers and other quantitative scientists to be more influential, innovative, and effective. I believe that as a community we can help our research, our regulatory and payer systems, and ultimately physicians and patients take better decisions based on better evidence.
I work to achieve a future in which everyone can access the right evidence in the right format at the right time to make sound decisions.
When my kids are sick, I want to have good evidence to discuss with the physician about the different therapy choices.
When my mother is sick, I want her to understand the evidence and being able to understand it.
When I get sick, I want to find evidence that I can trust and that helps me to have meaningful discussions with my healthcare professionals.
I want to live in a world, where the media reports correctly about medical evidence and in which society distinguishes between fake evidence and real evidence.
Let’s work together to achieve this.
