Course description
Systematic reviews represent the gold standard approach to identifying, evaluating, summarising, and synthetizing scientific evidence (with meta-analysis as a tool for quantitative synthesis), and they have contributed greatly to the current body of scientific knowledge. This course aims to introduce the concepts and procedures of systematic reviews and meta-analyses and will help applicants to get started with their own study.
Prerequisites and Selection

Students need to have basic knowledge of biostatistics (corresponding to KIs Basic Course in Medical Statistics or Biostatistics I) and it is recommended to have basic knowledge in epidemiology (corresponding to Epidemiology I course).
