Özet
Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials are increasingly performed to obtain more precise results. On the other hand, meta-analyses of prevalence studies are relatively rarely performed. In this review, some important points for interpretation of meta-analyses are given along with the comments on the meta-analyses of prevalence studies that are published in this issue of The Archives of The Turkish Society of Cardiology.
