### copy data into 'dat' and examine data
dat <- dat.collins1985b

\dontrun{
### load metafor package
library(metafor)
### calculate (log) odds ratio and sampling variance
dat <- escalc(measure="or", n1i=pre.nti, n2i=pre.nci, ai=pre.xti, ci=pre.xci, data=dat)
summary(dat, digits=2, transf=exp)
### meta-analysis using peto's method for any form of pre-eclampsia
rma.peto(n1i=pre.nti, n2i=pre.nci, ai=pre.xti, ci=pre.xci, data=dat, digits=2)
### meta-analysis including only studies where oedema was not a diagnostic criterion
rma.peto(n1i=pre.nti, n2i=pre.nci, ai=pre.xti, ci=pre.xci, data=dat, digits=2, subset=(oedema==0))
### meta-analyses of mortality outcomes (perinatal deaths, stillbirths, and neonatal deaths)
