Dear colleagues,

I'm conducting a meta-analysis of studies evaluating adherence of HIV-positive drug users into AIDS treatment, therefore I'm looking for some advice and syntax suggestion for running the meta-regression using proportions, not the usual OR/RR frequently used on RCT studies.

Have already searched already several handbooks, R-manuals, mailing lists, professors, but... not clue at all...

Does anyone have already tried this? A colleague of mine recently published a similar study on JAMA, but he used OpenBUGS - a software I'm not familiar with...

If there is any tip/suggestion for a possible syntax, could someone send me? I need to finish this paper before my PhD qualify, but I'm completely stuck...

So, any tip will be more than welcome...I will really appreciate it!!! 

Thanks in advance and congrats on the amazing mailing-list.



Bests from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Monica
