Research Opportunity

Meta-Analysis Studies

IAA is affiliated with multiple research and development programs, allowing team members to work on cutting edge anesthesia research.

Opportunity Overview

In our meta-analysis studies, we use a systematic literature review of multiple randomized clinical trials to assess the efficacy of a standard anesthetic protocol.

Example

A great example of this is our recent meta-analysis of I-PACK blocks for total knee arthroplasty [ASRA 2021, D. Maduram & T. Bowling].

Requirements

Research trainees interested in authoring Meta-analysis studies should have a solid foundation in advanced statistics.

Description

After developing a hypothesis and collaborating with our surgical colleagues, research trainees will work closely with senior anesthesia faculty in the process of aggregating data, reviewing literature, and performing a meta-analysis.

Research Experience Benefits

IAA’s anesthesia research trainees will learn:

STATA and RevManager
The creation of forest plots
Funnel plots
Pooled tests of effect size and data heterogeneity
