Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To examine variables related with publication bias assessment in a sample of systematic reviews with meta-analysis on cardiovascular diseases.
DESIGN:Systematic review of meta-analyses.
SETTING:Journals indexed in Medline and the Cochrane Library.
STUDY POPULATION:225 reviews with meta-analysis published between 1990 and 2002.
DATA COLLECTION:Data from meta-analyses were gathered according to a structured protocol. The outcome was the assessment, not the existence, of publication bias by the original authors.
RESULTS:Publication bias was assessed in 25 (11.1%) reviews, increasing with time: from 3.4% before 1998 to 19.0% in those published in 2002. A stepwise logistic regression model included several variables increasing the assessment of publication bias: number of primary studies (>7 compared with
