DOI: 10.1002/sim.8057
Abstract: We provide two simple metrics that could be reported routinely in random‐effects meta‐analyses to convey evidence strength for scientifically meaningful effects under effect heterogeneity (ie, a nonzero estimated variance of the true effect distribution). First,… read more here.

DOI: 10.2147/nss.s400048
Abstract: Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly preventable disease accompanied by multiple comorbid conditions. Despite the well-established cardiovascular and neurocognitive sequelae with OSA, the optimal metric for assessing the OSA severity and response to… read more here.
