Abstract: The central theme of this thesis is an evaluation of sources of bias and variation in diagnostic accuracy studies.Our aim was to document mechanisms that explain how sources of bias and variation affect measures of diagnostic accuracy, to provide empirical evidence on the impact of these sources using meta-epidemiological regression models, and to improve the methodology and analysis of reviews and meta-epidemiological research involving diagnostic accuracy studies.
