It is often of interest whether some subgroup either responds better, or does not respond at all, to a treatment. To decide this requires a subgroup analysis. The best way to do this is as part of an individual patient data meta‐analysis. To facilitate these there is a need for repositories for individual data from randomized controlled trials. Neurourol.
