系统评价可能包括连续结局的比值比和平均差异。对每种结局进行单独的荟萃分析会导致信息丢失，并可能产生误导。它表明，在（比值比）可以转换为效果大小除以1.81。效应量的有效性，即感兴趣的估计值除以剩余标准差，取决于研究之间的可比变异。如果研究人员定期报告剩余标准差，任何随后的审查可以联合收割机优势比和效应量在一个单一的荟萃分析时，这是合理的。版权所有（C）2000约翰威利父子有限公司
A systematic review may encompass both odds ratios and mean differences in continuous outcomes. A separate meta-analysis of each type of outcome results in loss of information and may be misleading. It is shown that a In(odds ratio) can be converted to effect size by dividing by 1.81. The validity of effect size, the estimate of interest divided by the residual standard deviation, depends on comparable variation across studies. If researchers routinely report residual standard deviation, any subsequent review can combine both odds ratios and effect sizes in a single meta-analysis when this is justified.
