The quality of the clinical accuracy studies was assessed by applying the QUADAS-2 tool [17]. The tool evaluates 4 domains: patient selection, index test, reference standard, and flow and timing. For each domain, the risk of bias is analyzed using different signaling questions. Beyond the risk of bias, the tool also evaluates the applicability of each included study to the research question for every domain. The QUADAS-2 tool was adjusted to the needs of this review and can be found in S3 Text.
