Hence, the availability of data limited the observed study period to 2003 2012.
Thus, the model transition matrix was updated using the observed study failure rates for all health states that had at least 20 transition observations.
According to our estimation, the observed study population of the CSH represents more than 20% of all treated patients in Germany.
For all meta-analyses performed in this study the random-effects model was used, assuming that the true study effect varies across studies and the observed study effects reflect both this variation and random variation.
In the observed study population, the main indications for IVF treatment were tubal factor infertility, endocrine factors of infertility, unexplained infertility, endometriosis, male factor infertility, or combinations of these.
Since the increasing drift attenuated gradually over the observed study period, we projected the linear slope between the two most recent 5-year periods, rather than the overall net drift, to emphasise recent trends.

Figure 7 shows the percentage of the 500 best-fitting model runs from each of the study communities that went to extinction in relation to both the observed study-level ABR and estimated mean R0 values.
For instance, the effect that each validity criterion has on the estimates of diagnostic accuracy and the influence of a priori defined study characteristics should be explored as potential explanations of the observed study-to-study variation [ 23- 27].
When publication bias is absent, the observed studies are expected to be distributed symmetrically around the pooled effect size.
The random-effects model assumes that inference is being made about a hypothetical population of studies of which the observed studies involved are assumed to constitute a "random sample" of potential studies of the same effects.
If significant publication bias was present, the classic fail-safe test would be performed to determine the number of missing studies required for the P-value of publication bias among the observed studies to approximate > 0.05.
