Combining independent studies of a diagnostic test into a summary roc curve: Data‐analytic approaches and some additional considerations
TL;DR: To avoid model-dependent extrapolation from irrelevant regions of ROC space, this work proposes defining a priori a value of FPR so large that the test simply would not be used at that FPR, and avalue of TPR so low that theTestWould not be use at that TPR.

Guidelines for Meta-analyses Evaluating Diagnostic Tests

TL;DR: These guidelines are used to review 11 journal articles published from January 1990 through December 1991 whose primary purpose was to assess the accuracy of a diagnostic test against a concurrent reference standard using meta-analysis, and the guidelines are based on current concepts of how to assess diagnostic tests and conduct meta-analyses.
