Aunque las recomendaciones generales para la lectura crítica de un metanálisis de pruebas diagnósticas son similares a las del metanálisis de estudios de tratamiento, existen aspectos específicos que deben conocerse para su correcta valoración. Destacamos el estudio del efecto umbral, la elección de la medida de síntesis y la forma de representar el resultado global con las curvas ROC específicas. ABSTRACT An unfairly treated genius. Meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy. Although the general recommendations for the critical appraisal of a meta-analysis of diagnostic tests are similar to those of the treatment meta-analysis, there are specific aspects that should be known for their correct assessment. We highlight the study of the threshold effect, the choice of the synthesis measure and the way to represent the overall result with the specific ROC curves.

Meta Analyses

Comparative effectiveness research (CER) allows evidence to be evaluated on the effectiveness, benefits, and detriments of management options, diagnostic tests, or ways to deliver health care. This process can be achieved in different ways, such as with well-designed randomized controlled trials or by meta-analyses. Several medical subspecialties are increasingly using CER, but CER remains underused by the neurosurgical community. Meta-analysis is a highly accurate method that permits results from multiple well-designed research studies to be quantitatively compared. Meta-analysis can be performed in many settings, such as the evaluation of treatment or of a diagnostic test or prognostic factor. Meta-analyses of randomized controlled treatment trials are well known, but there is a paucity of papers describing the ways to perform a meta-analysis of a diagnostic test. The aim of this paper is to improve neurosurgeons' familiarity with the meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy by describing and detailing each stage leading to publication.
