“…110,155,161,196,203 The six studies reported that 6126 (97.1%) of 6308 participants provided interpretable test results for NCT, while one prospective cohort study 211 involving 105 participants reported that all provided interpretable test results, giving an overall rate of 97.2% for all studies. One study reported that it took approximately 2 minutes to perform the test for both eyes.…”

“…Only A-rated studies are described in this section (n = 19). 21,22,28,63,64,99,[105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116][117] All but one of the included studies 105 described a population-based cross-sectional study. The remaining eight studies [100][101][102][103][104][118][119][120] are also described in Appendix 6.…”

“…The review included several studies conducted in the 1960s, and the studies used a range of criteria to define a positive test; therefore, the definition of a positive case may vary between observers and studies and account for some of the variation in prevalence rates between studies. Differential verification bias was likely in some of the included studies 28,64,[106][107][108]110,112 in that only suspects on the initial screen went on to a more extensive reference standard examination, and therefore some of the cases may have been missed. Therefore, the prevalence may have been underestimated by these studies.…”

“…These studies did not provide usable outcome data in terms of test accuracy, but otherwise met the review's inclusion criteria. 107,109,110,132, Information on uptake, interpretability and time taken to do the test is given in the results section for each test, while those studies reporting reliability are listed in Appendix 9.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment ProgrammeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, now part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public and consumer groups and professional bodies such as r...
