4.3.14.454.1 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.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. See Code System for further information.

Source

The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)

Code

The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')

Display

The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
