Meta-Analysis Methods of Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies
(2022)Meta-analytic techniques are used to combine the results of different studies that have evaluated the accuracy of diagnostic tests. In this article, we present univariate and multivariate meta-analysis methods for a single ... -
A multicentre evaluation of the accuracy and performance of IP-10 for the diagnosis of infection with M. tuberculosis
(2011)IP-10 has potential as a diagnostic marker for infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with comparable accuracy to QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-IT). The aims were to assess the sensitivity and specificity of ... -
A multivariate method for meta-analysis and comparison of diagnostic tests
(2016)We present here an extension of the classic bivariate random effects meta-analysis for the log-transformed sensitivity and specificity that can be applied for two or more diagnostic tests. The advantage of this method is ... -
A new method for synthesizing test accuracy data outperformed the bivariate method
(2021)Objectives: This study outlines the development of a new method (split component synthesis; SCS) for meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies and assesses its performance against the commonly used bivariate random ... -
