Professor Nicola Cooper

I am Professor of Healthcare Evaluation Research at the University of Leicester and a member of the Complex Reviews Synthesis Unit (CRSU, https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/crsu/). My primary research interest is in the interface and integration of medical statistics and health economics.

My areas of research include:

· Health technology assessment

· Evidence synthesis (including network meta-analysis and diagnostic test accuracy) and its integration within a decision modelling context

· Data visualisation in health technology assessment

· Economic evaluation alongside clinical trials

· Bayesian methods in healthcare

Web-based tools developed by the Complex Reviews Synthesis Unit (CRSU) available at https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/crsu/apps/

MetaInsight: An interactive web-based tool for the analysis and interrogation of network meta-analyses (frequentist and Bayesian).

MetaDTA: An interactive web-based tool for the analysis and interrogation of diagnostic test accuracy meta-analyses (frequentist)

MetaBayesDTA: An extended Bayesian version of MetaDTA, which allows users to conduct meta-analysis of test accuracy with or without assuming a gold standard
