A joint meta-analysis framework for the accuracy of two diagnostic tests accounting for varying study designs
Vera Hudak, Nicky J. Welton, Efthymia Derezea +1
Meta-analyses of the accuracy of two diagnostic tests typically assume tests are independent conditional on true disease status. This assumption is often unrealistic and violation…
Meta-analysis of networks of diagnostic tests with binary and continuous results
Efthymia Derezea, Gabriel Rogers, Nicky J Welton +1
Network meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy (NMA-DTA) is a relatively new field, involving combining evidence across studies to evaluate and compare the accuracy of different…
Meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy with multiple disease stages: combining stage-specific and merged-stage data
Efthymia Derezea, Nicky J Welton, Gabriel Rogers +1
For many conditions, it is of clinical importance to know not just the ability of a test to distinguish between those with and without the disease, but also the sensitivity to dete…
Ordinal regression for meta-analysis of test accuracy: a flexible approach for utilising all threshold data
Enzo Cerullo, Klaus Linde, Haley E. Jones +4
Standard (network) meta-analysis methods for medical test accuracy evaluation analyse the data separately for each test threshold - wasting data - unless every study reports all th…
