Producing treatment hierarchies in network meta-analysis using probabilistic models and treatment-choice criteria
利用概率模型与治疗选择准则构建网络荟萃分析的治疗层级
A key output of network meta-analysis (NMA) is the relative ranking of treatments; nevertheless, it has attracted substantial criticism. Existing ranking methods often lack clear interpretability and fail to adequately account for uncertainty, over-emphasizing small differences in treatment effects. We propose a novel framework to estimate treatment hierarchies in NMA using a probabilistic model, focusing on a clinically relevant treatment-choice criterion (TCC). Initially,…
