Systematic Reviews of Diagnostic Tests [a STEP project]
Systematic reviews compile and analyse existing primary studies and summarise the findings in a clinically meaningful way. The Centre for Kidney Research is involved in systematic reviews of the test performance of urinalysis and microscopy for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children, doppler ultrasound for the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis and renal tract imaging tests for children following UTI.
