In summary, initiating an IPD meta‐analysis project requires a great deal of thought, planning and preparation, which can take a considerable length of time. However, this investment is essential to maximising chances of success, and time invested at this stage will pay dividends later. Once the team and funding are in place and necessary approvals granted, the project can move on to developing the full protocol and beginning to collect, assemble and check the IPD that will be needed for analysis, as described in Chapter 4.
