Abstract
The quality of the evidence on estimating drug-related harm is not yet as advanced as that for intervention effectiveness. Multiple parameter evidence synthesis offers a potential solution, in which 'all available evidence' is combined into a single coherent model.We present a case study of estimating the number of people infected with hepatitis C.
