Table 3. Subgroup analysis by exclusion of outliers.
| The pooled results | Pooled value (95% CI) | P value | I2 (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | 0.93 (0.91, 0.94) | 0.33 | 11.2 |
| Specificity | 0.91 (0.88, 0.93) | 0.06 | 37.6 |
| Positive likelihood ratio | 8.10 (5.74, 11.42) | 0.12 | 31 |
| Negative likelihood ratio | 0.09 (0.07, 0.11) | 0.57 | 0 |
| Diagnostic OR | 110.44 (73.42, 166.11) | 0.58 | 0 |
CI, Confidence interval; I2, inconsistency; I2 > 50% was considered significant for heterogeneity.
