title: Minimal requirements for test evaluation.
abstract: Evaluations of diagnostic (clinical) tests should be conducted so that the material can be critically assessed. The results should be reported in a manner that will allow synthesis with data from other similar investigations. Collective professional efforts to fulfil these minimal requirements comprise the continued development of recommendations on research methods and good reporting practice. This paper presents some examples of suggested requirements for good reporting practice for further consideration and discussion.
