Meta-analytic survival analysis

Meta-analytic survival analysis is a quantitative synthesis method that pools hazard ratios and related time-to-event statistics from multiple independent studies to produce a single, more precise estimate of a treatment or exposure effect on survival outcomes such as overall survival, disease-free survival, or time to relapse. It can operate on aggregate published data or on individual patient data (IPD) contributed directly by study investigators.
