摘要
Sometimes it is not feasible to obtain disease status verification for all study subejtcs. Analysis of only those with disease ascertainment can result in biased estimates of the accuracy (Sensitivity, specificity, ROC curve) of a diagnostic test, screening test, or boimarker if the estimation method does not properly account for the missing disease ascertainment. This paper discusses the impact of this bias, verification bias, when estimating the accuracy of dichotmous and continuous diagnostic tests. In addition, methods to correct for verification bias are described. Areas that require additional attention are also highlighted.
