Through collecting and synthesizing the paper concerning the method of dealing with heterogeneity in the meta analysis, to introduce the multi-levels statistical models, such as meta regression and baseline risk effect model based on random effects, and random effects model based on hierarchical bayes, and to introduce their application of controlling the meta analysis heterogeneity. The multi-levels statistical model will decompose the single random error in the traditional model to data structure hierarchical. Its fitting effect can not only make the meta-analysis result more robust and reasonable, but also guide clinical issues through the interpretation of association variable.
