The pooled estimates for rare AEs through traditional inverse variance (IV), Mantel-Haenszel (MH), and Yusuf-Peto (Peto) methods are suboptimal, as the biases tend to be large. We proposed the ˇ°one-stageˇ± approach based on multilevel variance component logistic regression (MVCL) to handle this problem %K IPD meta-analysis %K Evidence synthesis methods %K Multilevel logistic %K Rule of three %K Binary rare adverse event %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6347966/
