Alcohol consumption and site-specific cancer risk: a comprehensive dose–response meta-analysis (2014, methodology): “As several studies reported two or more adjusted risk estimates for a single dose category (e.g., 6 and 12 g per day for light drinking) we combined them into a single estimate using the method for pooling nonindependent estimates within a single study described by Hamling et al (2008).”
Body mass index and survival in women with breast cancer—systematic literature review and meta-analysis of 82 follow-up studies (2014, methodology): “We derived the relative risks for overweight and obese women compared with normal weight women in two studies[19,21] that had more than four BMI categories using the method of Hamling[22].”
