ABSTRACT |
While some articles related to meta-analyses of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) have been actively published recently, the methodology of DTA meta-analysis is developing now. In order to encourage a conduction of DTA meta-analysis, authors summarized commands of the STATA software related to conduct a DTA metaanalysis. Main commands for estimating the summary effect size, for evaluating publication bias, for conducting a meta-regression, and for drawing a coupled forest plot, summary receiver-operating characteristic curve and a nomogramwere reviewed. Especially authors stressed how to evaluate a heterogeneity in DTA meta-analysis. |
