Category No. of Studies Summary Sensitivity, % (95% CI) Summary Specificity, % (95% CI) Q * (%)
AD 7 26.4 (25.5–27.4) 46.5 (46.1–46.9) 50.25
Eczema 4 47.2 (45.2–49.3) 50.5 (49.8–51.2) 50.09
Skin allergen 6 54.3 (51.3–57.3) 49.5 (47.7–51.3) 49.76

Q* corresponds to the point on the SROC curve where sensitivity and specificity are equal.
