Six studies reported both primary and aggregated diagnoses. In the latter case estimation of the proportion of correct diagnoses takes into consideration any differential diagnoses therefore increasing the likelihood of the correct diagnosis when compared to the histopathology results. The rate of agreement between the teledermatologist and the clinical dermatologist is also higher when diagnosis accuracy is based on the aggregated outcome. Table 32 lists the 15 included studies on diagnostic accuracy of SAF teledermatology that formed an evidence basis for assessing the diagnostic accuracy of SAF teledermatology.
