Extending methods for investigating the relationship between treatment effect and baseline risk from pairwise meta-analysis to network meta-analysis

Baseline risk is a proxy for unmeasured but important patient‐level characteristics, which may be modifiers of treatment effect, and is a potential source of heterogeneity in meta‐analysis. Models adjusting for baseline risk have been developed for pairwise meta‐analysis using the observed event rat...
