Meta-analysis of studies of the diagnostic test accuracy of FENO for diagnosis of asthma
Description
Meta-analysis of studies of the diagnostic test accuracy of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) for diagnosis of asthma.
The data were collected for a systematic review by Karrasch et al. (2017) and are published as a supplement (Appendix 1) to Schneider et al. (2017). They have been preprocessed for use in R package diagmeta.
Format
A data frame with the following columns:
| study_id | numeric study ID |
| author | first author |
| year | year of publication |
| group | information on subgroup |
| cutpoint | cutpoint (FeNO [ppb]) |
| tpos | number of true positives |
| fneg | number of false negatives |
| fpos | number of false positives |
| tneg | number of true negatives |
