The Cochrane Diagnostic Test Accuracy Working Group was constituted by the Steering Group of the Cochrane Collaboration to implement the publication of systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy within the Cochrane Collaboration.
In October 2007, during the Colloquium in Sao Paulo, the implementation of systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy was officially launched.
The DTA working group are producing the Cochrane handbook for reviews of diagnostic test accuracy, developing tutorials for use in RevMan, contribute to the development of RevMan software, have worked with CRGs to develop the editorial process of these reviews and collaborate with all Cochrane entities as necessary to ensure the preparation and publication of good quality DTA reviews in The Cochrane Library

To develop a quality assessment tool which will be used in systematic reviews to assess the quality of primary studies of diagnostic accuracy.
DATA SOURCES:
Electronic databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS and the methodological databases of both CRD and the Cochrane Collaboration.
REVIEW METHODS:
Three systematic reviews were conducted to provide an evidence base for the development of the quality assessment tool. A Delphi procedure was used to develop the quality assessment tool and the information provided by the reviews was incorporated into this. A panel of nine experts in the area of diagnostic accuracy studies took part in the Delphi procedure to agree on the items to be included in the tool. Panel members were also asked to provide feedback on various other items and whether they would like to see the development of additional topic and design specific items. The Delphi procedure produced the quality assessment tool, named the QUADAS tool, which consisted of 14 items. A background document was produced describing each item included in the tool and how each of the items should be scored.
RESULTS:
The reviews produced 28 possible items for inclusion in the quality assessment tool. It was found that the sources of bias supported by the most empirical evidence were variation by clinical and demographic subgroups, disease prevalence/severity, partial verification bias, clinical review bias and observer/instrument variation. There was also some evidence of bias for the effects of distorted selection of participants, absent or inappropriate reference standard, differential verification bias and review bias. The evidence for the effects of other sources of bias was insufficient to draw conclusions. The third review found that only one item, the avoidance of review bias, was included in more than 75% of tools. Spectrum composition, population recruitment, absent or inappropriate reference standard and verification bias were each included in 50-75% of tools. Other items were included in less than 50% of tools. The second review found that the quality assessment tool should have the potential to be discussed narratively, reported in a tabular summary, used as recommendations for future research, used to conduct sensitivity or regression analyses and used as criteria for inclusion in the review or a primary analysis. This suggested that some distinction is needed between high- and low-quality studies. Component analysis was considered the best approach to incorporate quality into systematic reviews of diagnostic studies and this was taken into consideration when developing the tool.
CONCLUSIONS:
This project produced an evidence-based quality assessment tool to be used in systematic reviews of diagnostic accuracy studies. Through the various stages of the project the current lack of such a tool and the need for a systematically developed validated tool were demonstrated. Further work to validate the tool continues beyond the scope of this project. The further development of the tool by the addition of design- and topic-specific criteria is proposed.Contents note: Glossary and list of abbreviations vii -- Executive summary xi -- 1 Background 1 -- Evaluation methods for diagnostic tests 1 -- Systematic reviews of diagnostic tests 1 -- Quality of diagnostic studies 1 -- Quality assessment tools to assess -- diagnostic studies 2 -- Assessment tool validation 2 -- Using quality assessment in diagnostic -- test reviews 2 -- STAndards for Reporting Diagnostic -- Accuracy (STARD) project 3 -- 2 Research questions 5 -- 3 Approach 7 -- 4 General methods 9 -- Classification of bias 9 -- Spectrum composition 9 -- Index test and reference standard 11 -- Interpretation 12 -- Analysis 13 -- Research planning (objective 3 only) 13 -- 5 Objective 1: Review the literature on the -- concepts underlying diagnostic research -- and identify the main factors that can bias -- the results of diagnostic studies 15 -- Methods 15 -- Results 16 -- Discussion 26 -- Conclusion 29 -- 6 Objective 2: Examine how quality assessment -- has been handled in systematic reviews 31 -- Methods 31 -- Results 32 -- Discussion 37 -- Conclusion 38 -- 7 Objective 3: Examine existing methods or -- assessment tools that have been used to -- assess the quality of diagnostic research, and -- any evidence on which they are based 39 -- Methods 39 -- Results 40 -- Discussion 46 -- Conclusions 48 -- 8 Objective 4: Develop a new evidence-based -- assessment tool for the quality assessment -- of diagnostic studies 49 -- Preliminary conceptual decisions 49 -- Item generation and assessment of item -- face validity 50 -- Delphi procedure 51 -- 9 QUADAS background document 59 -- Background to the tool 59 -- Aims of the tool 59 -- The quality assessment tool 60 -- Explanation of items included in the -- quality assessment tool and guide to -- scoring items 60 -- 10 Discussion and proposals for further -- work 67 -- Acknowledgements 69 -- References 71 -- Appendix 1 Search strategies 81 -- Appendix 2 Data extraction tables: -- objective 1 83 -- Appendix 3 Data extraction tables: -- objective 2 109 -- Appendix 4 Data extraction tables: -- objective 3 137 -- Appendix 5 Members of the advisory -- panel 185 -- Appendix 6 Delphi questionnaires 187 -- Health Technology Assessment reports -- published to date 235 -- Health Technology Assessment -- Programme 245

Ce guide est destiné à tous les praticiens impliqués dans la préparation ou l’exécution d’une intervention chirurgicale (anesthésistes, chirurgiens, cardiologues, pneumologues, radiologues, biologistes cliniques, médecins généralistes). Matériel et méthodes : Un guide de pratique clinique anglais récemment édité par le NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) a été utilisé comme point de départ et adapté au contexte belge. Les questions cliniques non abordées dans ce guide ont été traitées de novo. Résultats : En fonction de l’état de santé du patient et de la gravité de l’intervention, les examens préopératoires suivants sont recommandés ou à envisager : électrocardiographie de repos, formule sanguine complète, tests de la fonction rénale, tests d’hémostase, analyse d’urine et culture urinaire, imagerie cardiaque de stress (non invasive). Les examens suivants ne sont pas recommandés en routine : échocardiographie de repos, épreuve d’effort cardio-respiratoire, radiographie du thorax, polysomnographie, épreuves fonctionnelles respiratoires (et gaz du sang), hémoglobine glyquée, tests de la fonction hépatique et angioscanner coronaire. Conclusion : Ce guide permet aux cliniciens de choisir les examens préopératoires ad hoc en fonction des données probantes les plus récentes et des antécédents particuliers de leurs patients afin d’assurer une qualité et une sécurité optimales. Ce guide s’accompagne d’outils permettant de faciliter son application dans la pratique quotidienne.
