Multicenter Dose-Response Analysis
Multicenter dose-response analysis estimates the quantitative shape of the relationship between a graded exposure and a health outcome by pooling data or effect estimates across two or more study centers. Using flexible regression tools such as restricted cubic splines or fractional polynomials within a two-stage meta-analytic framework, it characterizes whether the relationship is linear, supra-linear, threshold-based, or J-shaped — providing far greater statistical power and generalizability than any single center could achieve alone.
