An efficient computing procedure is described for obtaining exact confidence limits for the mean of a Poisson distribution. It is shown how this procedure can be used to obtain the exact confidence limits for a standardized mortality ratio, a parameter of great interest to epidemiologists. An exampl

Meta-analyses of data from epidemiological studies are often based on odds ratios (ORs) or relative risks (RRs) and their 95 per cent con"dence intervals (CIs) as reported by the authors. Where possible ORs, RRs and CIs should be checked against the source data. Some simple methods are presented for
