METAPREG: Stata module to compute fixed and random effects meta-analysis and meta-regression of proportions

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: This routine provides procedures for pooling proportions in a meta-analysis of multiple studies study and/or displays the results in a forest plot. The pooled estimates are a weighted averages or obtained parameter estimates after logistic regression or after fitting the logistic-normal random model. Metapreg extends the functionality of metaprop by allowing one or more covariates into the model to explain heterogeneity in the proportions. With paired data, a model with two additive components of variance can be fitted. One component represents variance within the units, the other variance between units. Furthermore, a forest plot of relative ratios can also be presented.
