Pooled Odds Ratios for the Subgroup of Comparisons Requiring Correction for Clustering, Using a Range of Assumed ICC Values

Assumed intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) value Pooled odds ratio (OR) in the meta-analysis corrected for clustering Confidence interval for the OR
0.003 1.87 [1.55, 2.27]
0.03 1.90 [1.54, 2.33]
0.3 1.95 [1.50, 2.53]

The value of 0.03 was identified as the most relevant for this type of study and is used in the main analysis
