The ratio of means method as an alternative to mean differences for analyzing continuous outcome variables in meta-analysis: A simulation study

BACKGROUND: Meta-analysis of continuous outcomes traditionally uses mean difference (MD) or standardized mean difference (SMD; mean difference in pooled standard deviation (SD) units). We recently used an alternative ratio of mean values (RoM) method, calculating RoM for each study and estimating it...
