I have performed several meta-analysis using STATA, but never the dose-response analysis. I have been reading articles explaining about the drmeta package where it can utilize the generalized least-squares regression, but some variables such as SE and LogRR seems unfamiliar. How can you calculate those variables in STATA when the provided data are: OR, RR, HR, 95% CI, MD, or SMD? I need help for step-by-step command for the dose-response analysis.
A comment from previous thread said the analysis can be done through meta-regression. But dose-response and meta-regression are completely two different analyses, aren't they?
If the provided data includes OR, RR, HR, 95% CI, MD, or SMD, you can use se = (ln(upper CI) - ln(lower CI)) / (2 * 1.96) formula to calculate the standard error (SE).
