Evidence base of clinical diagnosis: Designing studies to ensure that estimates of test accuracy are transferable

Abstract:: There is merit in studies with heterogeneous study populations. They allow exploration of the extent to which the performance of a diagnostic test depends on prespecified predictors, and how much residual variation exists. The more variation there is in study populations, the greater the potential to know how the test will perform in various settings.
