Overview

Andrew Forbes is affiliated with the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily spans the field of Medicine, with a significant focus on statistical methods, clinical trials, and health systems evaluation. Forbes has contributed extensively to areas including meta-analysis and systematic reviews, statistical methods and Bayesian inference, and cardiac, anesthesia, and surgical outcomes.

Their recent scientific output includes publications in respected venues such as JAMA, the New England Journal of Medicine, and BMC Medical Research Methodology. Notable papers published by Forbes include:

  • Effect of Intra-articular Platelet-Rich Plasma vs Placebo Injection on Pain and Medial Tibial Cartilage Volume in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis, 2021, JAMA
