Researchers increasingly use meta-analysis to synthesize the results of several studies in order estimate a common effect. When outcome variable is continuous, standard meta-analytic approaches assume that primary report sample mean and deviation outcome. However, when skewed, authors sometimes summarize data by reporting median one or both (i) minimum maximum values (ii) first third quartiles, but do not deviation. To include these meta-analysis, methods have been developed from reported...
Systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies are fundamental to the decision making process in evidence based medicine. Although such regarded as high level evidence, these not always reported completely and transparently. Suboptimal reporting DTA systematic compromises their validity generalisability, subsequently value key stakeholders. An extension PRISMA (preferred items for review meta-analysis) statement was recently developed improve quality reviews. The PRISMA-DTA has...
Most clinical specialties have a plethora of studies that develop or validate one more prediction models, for example, to inform diagnosis prognosis. Having many model in particular field motivates the need systematic reviews and meta-analyses, evaluate summarise overall evidence available from studies, about predictive performance existing models. Such are fast emerging, should be reported completely, transparently, accurately. To help ensure this type reporting, article describes new...
