Study context
- Population
- Patients with pulmonary congestion or pleural effusion (acute HF); prospective diagnostic studies
- Planned comparison
- Chest radiography vs lung ultrasound vs computed tomography (CT) vs remote dielectric sensing (ReDS)
- Primary endpoint
- Diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios) for pulmonary congestion and pleural effusion
Methodological detailsPRISMA-P, hierarchical summary ROC model, QUADAS-2 risk of bias, Search of MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL and other major databases, no language restrictions, beginning April 2025
