Showcasing High-Impact Research: Umbrella Review and Meta-Analysis of Mortality Following EVAR and OSR
We are proud to spotlight our contribution to cutting-edge research with this comprehensive umbrella review and meta-analysis, which explores long-term mortality outcomes following conventional endovascular (EVAR) and open surgical repair (OSR) of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

Manuscript Overview
This study applies a rigorous methodology, including the ROBIS tool for quality assessment, to evaluate published meta-analyses and conduct a de-novo meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Key findings include:
- Short-Term Mortality: EVAR demonstrates significantly favorable mortality outcomes up to 4 years.
- Long-Term Mortality: No statistically significant difference was observed between EVAR and OSR beyond this period.
- Advanced Statistical Approaches: Both one-stage (Cox model) and two-stage analyses provide robust insights, with parametric modeling (generalized gamma) showing trends favoring EVAR over time.
- The results underline the nuanced understanding required to evaluate long-term outcomes and treatment strategies for AAA.
- Systematic Literature Reviews (SLRs)
- Comprehensive evidence mapping using robust frameworks and quality assessment tools like ROBIS.
- Insights to support clinical decision-making and health technology assessments.
- Meta-Analyses and Individual Patient Data (IPD) Analyses
- De-novo meta-analyses of trial data, including reconstructed individual patient data (IPD).
- Application of advanced statistical methodologies, including one-stage and two-stage meta-analytical approaches.
- Advanced Statistical Modeling
- Expertise in parametric and non-parametric survival models to address complex research questions.
- Tailored solutions for nuanced and high-impact results.
- Evidence Dissemination
- High-quality deliverables designed for publication in prestigious journals, enhancing visibility and credibility of findings.
