Critical analysis of a meta-analysis I
This session will reinforce the concepts of sensitivity, specificity, and ROC curves. Today’s article is a Cochrane Review meta-analysis about rapid antigen–detection testing for group A streptococcus. You will also dive deeper into the process of assessing “the risk of bias” in studies and how those biases can impact a meta-analysis. Learning goals List the […]
