A Bayesian Hierarchical Summary Receiver Operating Characteristic Model for Network Meta-Analysis of Diagnostic Tests
诊断试验网络荟萃分析的贝叶斯层级汇总ROC模型
In studies evaluating the accuracy of diagnostic tests, three designs are commonly used, crossover, randomized, and non-comparative. Existing methods for meta-analysis of diagnostic tests mainly consider the simple cases in which the reference test in all or none of the studies can be considered a gold standard test, and in which all studies use either a randomized or non-comparative design. The proliferation of diagnostic instruments and the diversity of study designs…
