It may be challenging to model the misclassification mechanism in real data for the subject-level imputation estimator. We illustrated the methods analyzing six health indicators from 2013 to 14 NYC HANES and the 2013 NYC Macroscope, and a study that linked some subjects in both data sources. CONCLUSIONS When a small gold-standard health survey exists, it can serve as a safeguard against potential bias in EHR through the joint analysis of the two sources.BACKGROUND This study was performed to systematically evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in staging of liver fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS PUBMED, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, Cochrane Library database were searched from January 2008 to December 2018 for studies related to MRE in the diagnosis of NAFLD liver fibrosis. The quality of the included literature was assessed by Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool. The pooled sensitivity, the pooled specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) value was performed by STATA 14.0 software. RESULTS A total of 12 studies were included, involving 910 patients. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of each group were 0.77 (95%CI 0.69-0.83) and 0.90 (95%CI 0.83-0.94) for F ≥ 1 (mild liver fibrosis), 0.87 (95%CI 0.74-0.94) and 0.86 (95%CI 0.71-0.94) for F ≥ 2 (significant liver fibrosis), 0.89 (95%CI 0.81-0.94) and 0.84 (95%CI 0.63-0.94) for F ≥ 3(severe liver fibrosis), 0.94 (95%CI 0.85-0.98) and 0.75 (95%CI 0.35-0.94) for F ≥ 4 (early cirrhosis), respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was 0.89, 0.93, 0.93, and 0.95, respectively. CONCLUSIONS MRE has high accuracy in the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis staging in patient
