Abstract

Meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies differs from meta-analysis of intervention studies in a number of respects. In this chapter, we explain the issues raised by meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies and how these may be addressed. Alongside the statistical models, we present the R package mada [5] written for fitting these models and graphing the results.
