The review is organized according to areas of research in teledermatology: reliability of diagnosis and management, accuracy, outcomes, costs, and satisfaction.
This review highlights that diagnostic test accuracy outcomes are surrogates for patient outcomes, a diagnostic test has three roles, the "PIRO" components should be included in a diagnostic research question, a new study should be registered, multiple index tests can be compared in one study, and prevalence affects test accuracy outcomes.
Since many of the same weight estimation systems are used in populations with very different prevalences of underweight and obese children, it needs to be ascertained whether this impacts on the accuracy outcomes of these systems.
Differences among interstitial, capillary, and venous readings must also be considered when comparing accuracy outcomes.
These methods differ in the degree of computational complexity and prediction accuracy outcomes.
CART produced very accurate (greater than 95% accuracy) outcomes using the methods described in Table 1.
Collectively, these differences limit the direct comparison of accuracy outcomes among sensor technologies.
Therefore, the present study was compared with reported outcomes with similar wired enzyme technology, factory-calibrated sensors, and those reporting accuracy outcomes using Consensus EGA.
Other meta-analyses 30 36 37 have examined results from multiple cut-offs, but have similarly been limited to using published accuracy outcomes for each cut-off.
In the present study, the System's sensor did not show any marked differences in accuracy outcomes relative to BMI, age, type of diabetes, clinical site, insulin administration, or hemoglobin A1c.
The views regarding the effect of analgesics on diagnostic accuracy and outcome as expressed by respondents in these groups are presented in Table 4.
