OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
HERC Webinar - Methods for population-adjusted indirect comparisons based on individual and aggregate level data
Healthcare decision-making requires reliable estimates of relative treatment effects. In an ideal scenario, these are provided by high-quality randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the treatments of interest, in a relevant target population. However, it is often the case that head-to-head RCTs are not available between all relevant treatments. Instead, standard network meta-analysis and indirect comparison methods can be used to estimate relative treatment effects between treatments of interest by combining aggregate data from multiple studies, assuming that any variables that interact with treatment effects (effect modifiers) are balanced across populations. Population adjustment methods aim to relax this assumption by adjusting for differences in effect modifiers using available individual patient data from one or more trials.
In this talk, I will give an overview of different population adjustment methods including Matching Adjusted Indirect Comparison, Simulated Treatment Comparison, and a new approach, Multilevel Network Meta-Regression. These methods will be illustrated using an applied example, and I will discuss the results of an extensive simulation study designed to assess the performance of the methods in a range of realistic scenarios under various failures of assumptions.
This is a free event, which will be taking place online via Zoom. To register your interest in attending this talk please visit: oxford.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/herc-webinar-dphillippo-bristol
