This study is to perform a systematic review of existing guidance on quality of reporting and methodology for systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) in order to compile a list of potential items that might be included in a reporting guideline for such reviews: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses of Diagnostic Test Accuracy (PRISMA-DTA).
Study protocol published on EQUATOR website. Articles in full text or abstract form that reported on any aspect of reporting systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy were eligible for inclusion. We used the Ovid platform to search Ovid MEDLINE®, Ovid MEDLINE® In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations and Embase Classic+Embase through May 5, 2016. The Cochrane Methodology Register in the Cochrane Library (Wiley version) was also searched. Title and abstract screening followed by full-text screening of all search results was performed independently by two investigators. Guideline organization websites, published guidance statements, and the Cochrane Handbook for Diagnostic Test Accuracy were also searched. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy (STARD) were assessed independently by two investigators for relevant items.
The literature searched yielded 6967 results; 386 were included after title and abstract screening and 203 after full-text screening. After reviewing the existing literature and guidance documents, a preliminary list of 64 items was compiled into the following categories: title (three items); introduction (two items); methods (35 items); results (13 items); discussion (nine items), and disclosure (two items).
Items on the methods and reporting of DTA systematic reviews in the present systematic review will provide a basis for generating a PRISMA extension for DTA systematic reviews.
本研究旨在对现有的诊断测试准确性（DTA）系统评价报告质量和方法学指南进行系统回顾，以编制一份可能包含在这类评价报告指南中的潜在项目清单：诊断测试准确性系统评价和 Meta 分析的 Preferred Reporting Items（PRISMA-DTA）。
在 EQUATOR 网站上发表了研究方案。全文或摘要形式报告了任何与系统评价诊断测试准确性报告相关方面的文章均符合纳入标准。我们使用 Ovid 平台检索了 Ovid MEDLINE®、Ovid MEDLINE®In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations 和 Embase Classic+Embase，检索日期截至 2016 年 5 月 5 日。还检索了 Cochrane 图书馆（Wiley 版）中的 Cochrane 方法学登记册。两名研究者独立进行了标题和摘要筛选，以及所有检索结果的全文筛选。还检索了指南制定组织的网站、已发表的指导声明以及 Cochrane 诊断测试准确性手册。两名研究者独立评估了 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses（PRISMA）和 Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy（STARD）中与本研究相关的项目。
检索文献得到了 6967 项结果；经过标题和摘要筛选后，有 386 项被纳入，经过全文筛选后，有 203 项被纳入。在回顾现有文献和指南文件后，初步编制了 64 项清单，分为以下几类：标题（三项）；引言（两项）；方法（三十五项）；结果（十三项）；讨论（九项）和披露（两项）。
本系统评价中关于 DTA 系统评价方法和报告的项目将为生成 DTA 系统评价的 PRISMA 扩展提供依据。
