Methods to Address Confounding and Other Biases in Meta-Analyses: Review and Recommendations

Maya B. Mathur et al.

Summary: Meta-analyses play a critical role in cumulative science, but can lead to misleading conclusions if the primary studies they include are biased. This article provides practical guidance for addressing biases that affect the internal validity of studies in meta-analyses, focusing on sensitivity analyses to quantify potential biases. Various sensitivity analysis methods are reviewed, with a focus on recent developments that are easy to implement and interpret. The importance of routinely reporting sensitivity analyses in meta-analyses of potentially biased studies is emphasized.

An approach to quantifying the potential importance of residual confounding in systematic reviews of observational studies: A GRADE concept paper

Jos H. Verbeek et al.

Summary: Small relative effect sizes are common in observational studies in environmental and public health, but can still be policy-relevant with high baseline rates of health outcomes and widespread exposure. The concept of E-value is proposed as a tool to assess residual confounding, increasing certainty. A 4-step approach is suggested to evaluate the likelihood of residual confounding.
