Network meta-analysis for survival outcome data often involves several studies only reported dichotomized outcomes (i.e., the numbers of events and sample sizes of individual arms). To avoid the reporting biases via eliminating these studies in the syntesis analyses, Woods et al. (2010; BMC Med Res Methodol 10:54) proposed a Bayesian approach to combine the survival and dichotomized outcome data using hierarchical models. However, the Bayesian methods require complicated computations involving t...
