alcohol_cvd


The dataset reports the summarized dose-response results from six observational
studies on the relation between alcohol intake and vascular disease risk (Qin Liu 2009). Four are case-control studies,
two prospective (cumulative-incidence data).


data

It estimates a dose-response relation from either a single or
multiple summarized data. The trend estimation takes into account the
correlation among sets of log relative risks and use it to efficiently
estimate the dose-response relation. To obtain a pooled functional
relation, the study-specific trends are combined according to principles of
multivariate random-effects meta-analysis.
