4.3.14.460.1 Content

This code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/synthesis-type defines the following codes:

Code Display Definition
std-MA summary data meta-analysis A meta-analysis of the summary data of estimates from individual studies or data sets.
IPD-MA individual patient data meta-analysis A meta-analysis of the individual participant data from individual studies or data sets.
indirect-NMA indirect network meta-analysis An indirect meta-analysis derived from 2 or more direct comparisons in a network meta-analysis.
combined-NMA combined direct plus indirect network meta-analysis An composite meta-analysis derived from direct comparisons and indirect comparisons in a network meta-analysis.
range range of results A range of results across a body of evidence.
classification classifcation of results An approach describing a body of evidence by categorically classifying individual studies (eg 3 studies showed beneft and 2 studied found no effect).
NotApplicable not applicable Not applicable because the evidence is not from a synthesis but from a single study. Used fo explicitly state that it's not a synthesis.
