Abstract：
Studies investigating the accuracy of diagnostic tests should provide data on how effectively they identify or exclude disease in order to inform clinicians responsible for managing patients. This consensus-based project was undertaken to develop reporting guidelines for authors submitting manuscripts, which describe studies that have evaluated the accuracy of diagnostic tests in endodontics. These guidelines are known as the Preferred Reporting Items for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies in Endodontics (PRIDASE) 2024 guidelines. A nine-member steering committee created an initial checklist by integrating and modifying items from the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy (STARD) 2015 checklist and the Clinical and Laboratory Images in Publications (CLIP) principles, as well as adding a number of new items specific to the specialty of endodontics. Thereafter, the steering committee formed the PRIDASE Delphi Group (PDG) and the PRIDASE Online Meeting Group (POMG) in order to collect expert feedback on the preliminary draft checklist. Members of the Delphi group engaged in an online Delphi process to reach consensus on the clarity and suitability of the items in the checklist. The online meeting group then held an in-depth discussion on the online Delphi-generated items via the Zoom platform on 20 October 2023. According to the feedback obtained, the steering committee revised the PRIDASE checklist, which was then piloted by several authors when preparing manuscripts describing diagnostic accuracy studies in endodontics. Feedback from this process resulted in the final version of the PRIDASE 2024 checklist, which has 11 sections and 66 items. Authors are encouraged to use the PRIDASE 2024 guidelines when developing manuscripts on diagnostic accuracy in endodontics in order to improve the quality of reporting in this area. Editors of relevant journals will be invited to include these guidelines in their instructions to authors.
摘要：
调查诊断测试准确性的研究应提供有关它们如何有效识别或排除疾病的数据，以便告知负责管理患者的临床医生。这个基于共识的项目旨在为提交手稿的作者制定报告指南，其中描述了评估牙髓诊断测试准确性的研究。这些指南被称为牙髓学诊断准确性研究的首选报告项目（PRIDASE）2024指南。一个由9名成员组成的指导委员会通过整合和修改2015年诊断准确性报告标准（STARD）清单和出版物中的临床和实验室图像（CLIP）原则中的项目，创建了一个初步清单。以及增加了一些特定于牙髓学专业的新项目。此后,指导委员会成立了PRIDASEDelphi小组(PDG)和PRIDASE在线会议小组(POMG),以收集专家对初步清单草案的反馈.Delphi小组的成员参与了在线Delphi流程，以就清单中项目的清晰度和适用性达成共识。然后，在线会议小组于2023年10月20日通过Zoom平台对在线Delphi生成的项目进行了深入讨论。根据获得的反馈，指导委员会修改了PRIDASE清单，然后由几位作者在准备描述牙髓学诊断准确性研究的手稿时进行了试点。此过程的反馈产生了PRIDASE2024清单的最终版本，它有11个部分和66个项目。鼓励作者在开发有关牙髓病诊断准确性的手稿时使用PRIDASE2024指南，以提高该领域的报告质量。相关期刊的编辑将被邀请在他们对作者的指导中加入这些指南。
