Meta-analytic Cox proportional hazards

Meta-analytic Cox proportional hazards is a quantitative synthesis technique that pools log hazard ratios from multiple Cox regression survival analyses into a single, more precise estimate of the association between an exposure or treatment and a time-to-event outcome. It combines the inferential power of survival analysis with the evidence-aggregation logic of meta-analysis, making it the standard approach for summarising multi-study survival evidence in clinical and epidemiological research.
