About the Book

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Stepwise Approach for Medical and Biomedical Researchers presents a step-by-step approach to develop systematic reviews and meta-analysis for biomedical and medical research. Systematic reviews are the highest quality evidence in medical research, providing an answer to a specific question, and they can be developed in the form of comprehensive literature search, critical appraisal, and synthesis of the evidence. Systematic reviews and meta-analysis are key elements of evidence-based medicine by summarizing the results of previous studies with the use of specific and reliable methods. Initially, systematic review and meta-analysis were exclusive to clinical trials, however systematic reviews of observational and diagnostic studies have expanded, making it essential for members of the field to master those techniques. This practical reference is a valuable resource for biostaticians, researchers, students, and members of medical and biomedical fields who need to understand more about systematic reviews and meta-analysis in their research work.

She has great experience in medical research and research education for junior students. She has also published several research papers on systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Dr. Sara Hanaei started medicine at TUMS in 2010 and a Master of Public Health (MPH) in 2014. She graduated with MD-MPH in 2018. She also received TUMS Research Diploma (TUMS-RD) in a 2-year study period from 2013-2015. She was a research assistant at the Research Center for Immunodeficiencies (RCID) from 2018-2021 and further continued neurosurgery as a clinical specialty at TUMS in 2021. She has experience in teaching research skills to students. Medical research was one of her greatest interests since the beginning of her academic education, especially in Neurosurgery and Immunology, therefore, she started research in those fields. Over the past decade, she contributed to different research projects, books, and other research activities including instructing research workshops in statistics, systematic reviews, and meta-analysis. She also got involved in executive tasks and developed executive skills in organizing scientific events, congresses, festivals, scoring, rankings, etc. She also co-edited a 2-volume book: - Human Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors: From Bench to Bedside. Volume 1 (Neuroimmunology and Neurogenetics) - Human Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors: From Bench to Bedside. Volume 2 (The Path to Bedside Management). In early 2024, she co-founded Borderless Research, Advancement, and Innovation in Neuroscience Network (BRAINet), which was intended to serve in a multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary manner and embrace all aspects of neuroscience. On this account, different disciplines in neuroscience may come together in the BRAINet including theoretical and molecular neuroscience, clinical neuroscience (neurology), surgical neuroscience (neurosurgery), and social neuroscience. In the light of the borderless collaboration of seniors and juniors, it is provisioned to promote scientific activities and step forward to advancement and innovation in neuroscience. Professor Nima Rezaei gained his medical degree (MD) from Tehran University of Medical Sciences and subsequently obtained an MSc in Molecular and Genetic Medicine and a PhD in Clinical Immunology and Human Genetics from the University of Sheffield, UK. He also spent a short-term fellowship of Pediatric Clinical Immunology and Bone Marrow Transplantation in the Newcastle General Hospital. Professor Rezaei is now the Full Professor of Immunology and Vice Dean of Research, School of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, and the co-founder and Head of the Research Center for Immunodeficiencies. He is also the founding President of the Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). Professor Rezaei has already been the Director of more than 55 research projects and has designed and participated in several international collaborative projects. Professor Rezaei is an editorial assistant or board member for more than 30 international journals. He has edited more than 35 international books, has presented more than 500 lectures/posters in congresses/meetings, and has published more than 1,000 scientific papers in the international journals.
