This study evaluated a Trial Similarity and Evidence Consistency Assessment (TSECA) framework for assessing key assumptions underlying the validity of indirect comparisons.
This macro utilizes a bootstrapping strategy to test the validity of indirect effects.
The purpose of this study was to analyse the diagnostic validity of indirect adherence methods.
Empirical evidence on the validity of indirect and mixed treatment comparison is still limited and many questions remain unanswered.
For instance, this analysis was performed on the assumption of consistency where the validity of indirect comparisons was determined by the extent of clinical and methodological trial similarity.
In addition, there is only limited empirical evidence to show that improved trial similarity is associated with improved validity of indirect and mixed treatment comparison.
