Evidence Synthesis

Evidence synthesis gathers and combines the clinical evidence that economic evaluations rely on, from the design of single studies to the pooling of their results. Estimates of treatment effect and baseline risk feed directly into decision models, so the quality of this evidence shapes how far a cost-effectiveness result can be trusted.
