MetaBayesDTA: codeless Bayesian meta-analysis of test accuracy, with or without a gold standard

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2023
Background The statistical models developed for meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies require specialised knowledge to implement. This is especially true since recent guidelines, such as those in Version 2 of the Cochrane Handbook of ...

On the robustness of latent class models for diagnostic testing with no gold standard

Statistics in Medicine, 2021
It is difficult to estimate sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests when there is no gold standard. Latent class models have been proposed as a potential solution as they provide estimates without the need for a gold standard. Using a motivating example of the evaluation of point of care tests for leptospirosis in Tanzania, we show how a ...

Chapter 8: Meta-analysis of Test Performance When There is a “Gold Standard” [PDF]

Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2012
Abstract Synthesizing information on test performance metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and likelihood ratios is often an important part of a systematic review of a medical test. Because many metrics of test performance are of interest, the meta-analysis of medical tests is more complex than the meta-analysis of ...

Associations between accurate measures of adiposity and fitness, blood proteins, and insulin sensitivity among South Asians and Europeans [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
ObjectiveSouth Asians (SAs) may possess a unique predisposition to insulin resistance (IR). We explored this possibility by investigating the relationship between ‘gold standard’ measures of adiposity, fitness, selected proteomic biomarkers, and insulin ...

Comparison of different methods involved in the planning of clinical crown lengthening surgery [PDF]

Brazilian Oral Research, 2010
There is little material in the literature that compares biological width measurements in periapical and bite-wings radiographs with clinical measurements. The purpose of this study was to compare measurements of biological width taken by three different
