Aim:
Found some new methods that can be used to obtain values such as true positives (TP), false negatives (FN), false positives (FP), and true negatives (TN) which did not provide in diagnostic meta-analysis indirectly.
Methods:
Using mathematical deduction and programming calculus.
Results:
We have succeeded in increasing the number of articles that can be used from two(228 patients) to five(469 patients) by using our new method.
Conclusion:
Using these methods, it can greatly increase the number of the inclusion articles, as well as the number of inclusion patients, which will contribute to improve the persuasiveness and comprehensiveness of diagnostic meta-analysis.
