Table 4. Heterogeneity analysis for hospital-based and population-based studies.

Heterogeneity statistics Degree of freedom P I-squared** Tau-squared z test p value
Hospital based 617.12 16 0.000 97.4% 0.0002 8.57 0.000
Population based 39.16 4 0.000 89.8% 0.0000 3.51 0.000
Overall 684.91 21 0.000 96.9% 0.0001 7.92 0.000

**I-squared: the variation in Effect Size attributable to heterogeneity.

Note: Between-group heterogeneity was not calculated. Significance test(s) of ES  = 0.
