Practice questions

- In the haemoptysis meta-analysis, how often did bronchoscopy identify lung cancer when CT was normal, as reported by the authors?
- Which statement accurately describes pooled specificity for lung cancer detection in the haemoptysis meta-analysis?
- A systematic review estimated the pooled incidence of reported atrial fibrillation across eligible cohorts receiving thoracic radiotherapy. Which estimate did it report in its main analysis including all cohorts?
