Abstract:
In 2003, the QUADAS tool for systematic reviews of diagnostic accuracy studies
was developed. Experience, anecdotal reports, and feedback suggested areas for
improvement; therefore, QUADAS-2 was developed. This tool comprises 4 domains:
patient selection, index test, reference standard, and flow and timing. Each
domain is assessed in terms of risk of bias, and the first 3 domains are also
assessed in terms of concerns regarding applicability. Signalling questions are
included to help judge risk of bias. The QUADAS-2 tool is applied in 4 phases:
summarize the review question, tailor the tool and produce review-specific
guidance, construct a flow diagram for the primary study, and judge bias and
applicability. This tool will allow for more transparent rating of bias and
applicability of primary diagnostic accuracy studies.
