a pre‐set criteria for sensitivity were assay evaluation in ≥ 200 samples and lower bound of 95% CI for sensitivity was 90% or higher b pre‐set criteria for specificity were assay evaluation in ≥ 200 samples, point estimate for specificity ≥ 98% and lower bound of 95% CI was 96% or higher c sensitivity and specificity estimates per brand are not necessarily paired estimates from the same set of studies (i.e. were not calculated from the same meta‐analytic model) but were calculated separately using univariate analyses such that there may be differences in the set of studies contributing to sensitivity and to specificity for any given test brand (although there will be overlap between them). |
