Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 criteria used for qualitative assessment description.

Patient selection Index test Reference standard Flow and timing
Signaling question 1: Data preprocessing specified? Signaling question 1: Data acquisition methods detailed? Signaling question 1: Is the reference standard likely to correctly classify the target condition? Signaling question 1: Was there an appropriate interval between index tests and reference standard?
Signaling question 2: At least 50 participants were selected for analysis Signaling question 2: BGa-level forecasting or prediction approach detailed? That is, network architecture provided or MLb models parameters? Signaling question 2: Were the reference standard results interpreted without knowledge of the results of the index test? Signaling question 2: Did all patients receive a reference standard?
Signaling question 3: Balance of number of participants within the subgroups (ie, diabetic or nondiabetic, male or female, healthy or some disease) Signaling question 3: More than one performance metrics used Signaling question 3: Sufficient detail to allow replication about definition of ground truth (Was the method described in sufficient detail to reproduce the presented results?)

aBG: blood glucose.

bML: machine learning.
