Bayesian meta-analysis for test accuracy

Bayesian meta-analysis of Papanicolaou smear accuracy.

OBJECTIVE To perform a Bayesian analysis of data from a previous meta-analysis of Papanicolaou (Pap) smear accuracy (Fahey et al. Am J Epidemiol 1995; 141:680-689) and compare the results. METHODS We considered two Bayesian models for the same data set used in the Fahey et al. study. Model I was a beta-binomial model which considered the number of true positives and false negatives as indepen...

Meta-analysis of Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies

Diagnostic test accuracy: methods for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Systematic reviews are carried out to provide an answer to a clinical question based on all available evidence (published and unpublished), to critically appraise the quality of studies, and account for and explain variations between the results of studies. The Joanna Briggs Institute specializes in providing methodological guidance for the conduct of systematic reviews and has developed method...
