Hi There,

I am seeking some help regarding the meta-analysis of the prevalence data using the metaprop command. Below is the data set I have the command I used and the output I got.


Data-set
Study case population
Xyz et al (2015) 49 539
Xez et al (2016) 12 167
Abc et al (2011) 134 803
Bcs et al (2013) 197 1205
Dah et al (2009) 69 1168
Hwc et al (2016) 6 144
Pns et al (2016) 4 152

Command used

metaprop case population, random


Output

Study | ES [95% Conf. Interval] % Weight
---------------------+---------------------------------------------------
1 | 0.09 0.07 0.12 14.44
2 | 0.07 0.04 0.12 13.41
3 | 0.17 0.14 0.19 14.35
4 | 0.16 0.14 0.19 14.62
5 | 0.06 0.05 0.07 14.93
6 | 0.04 0.02 0.09 13.90
7 | 0.03 0.01 0.07 14.37
---------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Random pooled ES | 0.09 0.05 0.13 100.00
---------------------+---------------------------------------------------

Heterogeneity chi^2 = 134.71 (d.f. = 6) p = 0.00
I^2 (variation in ES attributable to heterogeneity) = 95.55%
Estimate of between-study variance Tau^2 = 0.00

Test of ES=0 : z= 4.14 p = 0.00

Array


I need help in getting the prevalence of cases in % (instead of a decimal as it is right now) and please confirm whether I am using correct command and method to get the pooled prevalence.

Also, I want to names of the studies to be displayed instead of the numbers.
