Laplace approximation, penalized quasi-likelihood, and adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature for generalized linear mixed models: Towards meta-analysis of binary outcome with sparse data
Ju, Ke; Lin, Lifeng; Chu, Haitao; Cheng, Liang Liang; Xu, Chang ( BMC , 2020 , Article)© 2020 The Author(s). Background: In meta-analyses of a binary outcome, double zero events in some studies cause a critical methodology problem. The generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) has been proposed as a valid ... -
Methodological quality for systematic reviews of adverse events with surgical interventions: a cross-sectional survey.
Zhou, Xiaoqin; Li, Linji; Lin, Lifeng; Ju, Ke; Kwong, Joey S W; Xu, Chang... more authors ... less authors ( BMC , 2021 , Article)An increasing number of systematic reviews assessed the safety of surgical interventions over time. How well these systematic reviews were designed and conducted determines the reliability of evidence. In this study, we ... -
