The metamedian package implements several methods to meta-analyze
studies that report the sample median of the outcome. When the primary
studies are one-group studies, the methods of McGrath et
al. (2019)
can be applied to estimate the pooled median. In the two-group context,
the methods of McGrath et al. (2018)
can be applied to estimate the pooled raw difference of medians across
groups.
