diagnostic-accuracy

To report a diagnostic accuracy study using STARD 2015, you need to document the index test, reference standard, blinding, thresholds, confidence intervals, and sample size with predefined criteria. The Skill provides templates for Methods, Results, and Discussion to standardize this reporting.

STARD-compliant reporting requires explicit documentation of the index test and reference standard, including blinding procedures, thresholds, confidence intervals, and sample size with predefined criteria. The Skill enforces these reporting standards across prospective or retrospective diagnostic test designs.

Yes, you can use this Skill for retrospective biomarker evaluation study designs. It supports bias assessment and standardizes study planning, methods documentation, and result reporting across diagnostic tests, imaging, or biomarkers in both prospective and retrospective designs.

The best way to document bias assessment and 2x2 tables for imaging diagnostic tests is to use the provided STARD 2015 templates. These templates enforce explicit reporting of confidence intervals, predefined criteria, and reference standard details to ensure transparent, bias-aware diagnostic accuracy reporting.

Yes, this Skill supports software citation templates for diagnostic accuracy manuscripts. It provides reporting templates for transparency and reproducibility, ensuring your study planning, methods documentation, and result reporting align with STARD 2015 guidelines.
