Diagnostic Meta-Analysis A Useful Tool for Clinical Decision-Making

“In this book, the authors present pragmatic and useful summaries of the necessary steps for conducting diagnostic accuracy meta-analysis. … This is a great addition to this field, which has lacked a comprehensive introductory book intended for beginners. While the Cochrane handbook also provides a good summary of this topic, this book reaches a broader audience.” (Michihiko Goto, Doody's Book Reviews, April 12, 2019)
