goutSUA_CFBcomb {MBNMAtime}

Studies of combined treatments for reducing serum uric acid in patients with gout

Description

A dataset from a systematic review of interventions for lowering Serum Uric Acid (SUA) concentration in patients with gout (not published previously). The outcome is continuous, and aggregate data responses correspond to the mean change from baseline in SUA in mg/dL. Treatments with similar doses have been pooled together to improve network connectivity and facilitate evidence synthesis, resulting in 19 treatments of 7 agents included in the network. Standard deviations have been imputed for 181 observations.
