Dear SDM experts,

As meta-regression is no longer supported in the SDM-PSI tool.

I was wondering if there is any alternative way of running a meta-regression with age and sex using the SDM-PSI tool?

Many thanks in advance for your guidance,

Yan

Dear Yan, 

The SDM-PSI has a function to conduct a meta-regression.

Thank you so much Lydia for your prompt reply and pointing me in the right direction!

Sorry to ask another naive question but would it be correct to enter t_thr as the variable of interest (with a value of 1) and other covariates of interest assigned a value of 0 (in my case, mean age of patient group and number of female paticipants in patient group; see screenshot attached)?

Many thanks again for your guidance,

Yan

I am also attaching my study table here in case it is helpful.

Dear Yan, 

Usually, t_thr is used to calculate the images of lower and upper boundaries in the pre-processing step, so adding it as a covariate is unnecessary. Regarding the age and females, you could add it to the mean analysis specifying the option of "Covariate" in the prompt.
