TL;DR: The existing multiple test procedures are summarized for the most important multiplicity situations and it is emphasized that adjustments for multiple testing are required in confirmatory studies whenever results from multiple tests have to be combined in one final conclusion and decision.

TL;DR: The aim is to identify known methods for estimation of the between‐study variance and its corresponding uncertainty, and to summarise the simulation and empirical evidence that compares them and recommend the Q‐profile method and the alternative approach based on a ‘generalised Cochran between‐ study variance statistic’.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general formula describing the relation between the hazard and the corresponding survival time of the Cox model is derived, which is useful in simulation studies, and techniques to generate survival times for simulation studies regarding Cox proportional hazards models are presented.

TL;DR: Treatment for gestational diabetes, consisting of treatment to lower blood glucose concentration alone or with special obstetric care, seems to lower the risk for some perinatal complications.

TL;DR: Cigarette smoking represents an important factor associated with progression of nephropathy in treated hypertensive type I diabetic patients and most values were within a normotensive range.
