Dear all!

As I understand, pooling CV is a part of metha-analysis. In its turn meta-analysis conceals many suprises, Simpson's paradox as example. The question is how to make sure of homogenity of pooling data? What can be the reasons to throw out some outlier data, excluding Gut feeling? Can we pool data from studies with different dosage or studies with different formulations? How do the strength of the dosage affects variability?

Pharmacokinetics may be simply defined as
what the body does to the drug,
as opposed to pharmacodynamics, which may be defined as
what the drug does to the body.    Leslie Z. Benet
