Objective To illustrate the evaluation effect of bivariate analysis of sensitivity and specificity meta-analysis model in diagnosis test to provide basis for selecting better evaluation method of diagnostic test.Methods Bivariate model was presented by reanalyzing the data from a published meta-analysis of two diagnostic techniques in diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica.Results The bivariate model could directly provide summary estimates of(logit)sensitivity,specificity and DOR with corresponding 95% CI for two diagnostic tests(IHA and ELISA).Also,it could elicit any significant difference that existed among sensitivity,specificity and DOR between the two diagnostic methods,and incorporate any correlation that existed between sensitivity;specificity.Conclusion The bivariate model preserves the two dimensional nature of the original data,and separates effects of sensitivity and specificity,which is more rational than a net effect on diagnostic odds ratio scale as in SROC approach.The bivariate model is appropriate and agile,and can be used as an extension and improvement of the traditional SROC method.

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of DSA with that of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI for postoperative recurrent tiny hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions.Methods The clinical data of a total of 38 patients,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from September 2011 to March 2016 as clinically they were suspected to have postoperative recurrent tiny HCC lesions,were retrospectively analyzed.DSA,DSA plus lipiodol CT scan and Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI were performed in all patients.The positive and negative diagnosis rates were compared among different examination methods,the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were calculated.The imaging diagnosis of each patient was made by two associationchief radiologists independently,both the pathological findings from surgery or puncture biopsy and the 6-month follow-up results were taken as the final diagnosis basis.Results A total of 47 lesions were detected in the 38 patients.The diameter of the lesions was 0.5-2.0 cm,with an average of (1.2+0.8) cm.Of the 47 lesions,41 were proved to be recurrent tiny HCC lesions.Among the 41 lesions,22 had pathological evidence,and the remaining 19 lesions were confirmed through clinical follow-up.Six lesions were non-HCC focus,which were proved by clinical follow-up.For all lesions,the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 72.2% and 80.0% respectively by conventional DSA,which were 90.2% and 100% respectively by DSA plus lipiodol CT scan,and were 95.1% and 100% respectively by Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI.Statistical analysis indicated that significant differences in diagnostic sensitivity and specificity existed between conventional DSA and DSA plus lipiodol CT scan as well as between conventional DSA and Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI (P<0.05),while the differences in diagnostic sensitivity and specificity between DSA plus lipiodol CT scan and Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI were not statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusion For the detection of postoperative recurrent tiny HCC lesions,DSA plus lipiodol CT scan has quite the same diagnostic value as Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI does.For patients who are not suitable to receive MRI examination,the use of DSA plus lipiodol CT scan,as an alternative means of inspection,should be taken into consideration.
