Clinical Performance Evaluation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems: A Scoping Review and Recommendations for Reporting

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Scoping review

Authors' conclusion

We found that there is a large variability in nearly all of those aspects and, in particular, in the characteristics of the comparator measurements. Furthermore, these characteristics as well as other crucial aspects of study design are often not reported in sufficient detail to allow an informed interpretation of study results.

Study context

Outcome
Variability in CGM performance study design
Methodological detailsRecommendations provided for reporting general study design, CGM system use, comparator measurement approach, testing procedures and data analysis/statistical performance evaluation
  • Recommendations provided for reporting general study design, CGM system use, comparator measurement approach, testing procedures and data analysis/statistical performance evaluation

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Large variability in nearly all aspects of study design (subject population, comparator method, testing procedures, statistical accuracy evaluation), in particular in comparator measurement characteristics
  • Comparator characteristics and other crucial design aspects often not reported in sufficient detail to allow informed interpretation of results
