Assessment of the Diagnostic Accuracy of Laboratory Tests Using Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves, 2nd Edition

This document provides a protocol for evaluating the accuracy of a test to discriminate between two subclasses of subjects when there is some clinically relevant reason to separate them. In addition to the use of receiver operating characteristic curves and the comparison of two curves, the document emphasizes the importance of defining the question, selecting the sample group, and determining the "true" clinical state.

CLSI EP24 Abstract

Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute document EP24-A2—Assessment of the Diagnostic Accuracy of Laboratory Tests Using Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves; Approved Guideline—Second Edition provides guidance for laboratorians and manufacturers who assess clinical test accuracy. It is not a recipe; rather, it is a set of concepts to be used to design an assessment of test performance or to interpret data generated by others. In addition to the use of ROC curves and comparison of two curves, the document emphasizes the importance of defining the question, selecting a sample group, and determining the “true” clinical state. The statistical data generated can be useful whether one is considering replacing an existing test, creating or adding a new test, or eliminating a current test.
