Hey #epitwitter, a question. At what point does the heterogeneity across epidemiological studies make the meta-analysis pointless (or at least too vague to be useful)?
See that's my perspective as well. As long as you acknowledge the issue, and recognize how it limits your study, it's usually ok I guess my question was, at what point do the limitations become greater than the rest of the study?

Fair point. Generally I'd say w/ exceptionally high hetero. (like that .9 option) the issue might be the research question itself - maybe take a step back & re-eval incl criteria & aim.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
