Good morning,
We're undertaking a meta-analysis in which we have an association between a
dichotomous outcome (mortality) and a categorical variable with multiple
choices (usually between 3 and 4). However, the reference isnt always the same,
so we could have study A who present results with A/B/C/D categories with �A�
as reference, but study B who presents results with the same A/B/C/D categories
but with B as the reference. In the case of a dichotomous variable and an odds
ratio, we could ensure a common denominator among the study using 1/OR. Is
there any reliable way to do so with a categorical variable (with OR mostly,
and possibly relative risks [RR])?
Thanks in advance,
Pier-Alex
