Abstract：Open Meta-analysis software is the open-source software for performing Meta-analyses of binary, continuous or diagnostic data. Open Meta-analysis software provides 4 methods to the Meta-analysis of DTA including diagnostic random-effect model, mixed-effect inverse variance model, bivariate model and hierarchical standard receiver operating curve (HSROC). The former two that are the univariate models, can only pool single indexes, while the latter two as the bivariate models, can execute comprehensive analysis of negative correlation between sensitivity and specificity. The realization of Meta-analysis of DTA by applying open Meta-analysis software is introduced in this article with an example.
