All of the studies in this SR evaluated the overall performance of ARFI for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis. [...] ARFI for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Liver Fibrosis in Patients with Hepatitis C. 4 The economic evaluation4 generated separate estimates of costs and effects for populations with chronic hepatitis C. The model cohort was intended to mirror the distribution of chronic HCV genotype 1, 2 and 3, and 4 infections. [...] Nine of the NRSs8,18-22,24-26 blinded the results of the ARFI for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Liver Fibrosis in Patients with Hepatitis C. 5 index test when interpreting the results of the reference standard and vice versa. [...] Two of the NRSs5,17 blinded the results of the index test when interpreting the reference standard, but it was unclear if the index test results were interpreted without knowledge of the results of the reference standard. [...] The scientific quality of the included studies The likelihood of publication bias was was not assessed and documented, and the assessed.
