Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been proved to be effective diagnostic markers for multiple myeloma (MM). The meta‐analysis was aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of related miRNAs. Multiple databases (PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CBM, and CNKI) were systematically searched for available studies up to March 2016. All data were analyzed with the help of software revman 5.3 and metadisc 1.4. The eligible articles’ quality was estimated by QUADAS‐2, and pooled parameters were acquired with the bivariate random‐effects meta‐analysis model. Subgroup analysis and meta‐regression were conducted to explore the heterogeneity of studies included. After steps of screening, seven qualified literatures were selected. They consisted of 22 studies that included 486 newly diagnosed MM patients and 292 healthy controls. Summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) analyses of all miRNAs showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.86 (95%CI, 0.82–0.91). Together with the AUC, the positive likelihood ratio‐PLR 4.45 (95%CI, 3.28–6.04), negative likelihood ratio‐NLR 0.29 (95%CI, 0.24–0.35), and diagnostic odds ratio‐DOR 17.59 (95%CI, 11.26–27.4) confirmed that circulating miRNAs possessed relatively high diagnostic value in discriminating MM patients from healthy controls. For miRNAs combined together, miRNA‐1308/miRNA‐720 had the highest sensitivity 0.96 (95%CI, 0.79–1.00) and specificity 0.92 (95%CI 0.64–1.0). The subgroup and meta‐regression analyses also showed that miRNAs profiling was the sole source of heterogeneity, and the diagnostic accuracy of combined miRNAs was 6.02 times higher than single one. Combined circulating miRNAs in serum or plasma may be highly effective biomarker for diagnosis of MM.  相似文献

The soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells‐1 (sTREM‐1) is a promising diagnostic marker for many types of infections. A bivariate meta‐analysis was performed to evaluate its diagnostic value for lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI). We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library and Web of Science (from January 1966 to August 2013) for all trials assessing diagnostic value of sTREM‐1 for LRTI. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio(PLR), negative likelihood ratio(NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), the area under summary receiver operator characteristic (SROC) curve and the Q* were calculated. Thirteen studies with 1138 patients were included in our meta‐analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of sTREM‐1 for diagnosis of LRTI was 0.84 and 0.77. The PLR, NLR and DOR were 3.6, 0.21 and 17. The area under SROC curve was 0.88 and the Q* was 0.82. The univariate meta‐regression analysis demonstrated that the assay method for sTREM‐1 significantly affected sensitivity for LRTI. The Q* of sTREM‐1 for diagnosis of community‐acquired LRTI was 0.82, and the area under SROC curve was 0.88. The Q* of sTREM‐1 in diagnosis of hospital‐acquired LRTI was 0.83, and the area under SROC curve was 0.90. The Q* of sTREM‐1 for distinguishing culture‐positive LRTI from culture‐negative diseases was 0.79, and the area under SROC curve was 0.86. Current evidence suggests that sTREM‐1 is an accurate marker of LRTI. The overall diagnostic value of sTREM‐1 for LRTI, community‐acquired LRTI and hospital‐acquired LRTI is similar.  相似文献

MicroRNAs (abbreviated miRNAs) have been demonstrated to be involved in tumorigenesis and cancer development and proposed as promising biomarkers in cancer diagnosis. Numerous studies have observed the aberrant expression of miRNAs in esophageal cancer. However, there are some discrepant results. Thus, we conducted this meta‐analysis to identify the overall accuracy of miRNAs in the diagnosis of esophageal cancer. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and other databases using combinations of key words. The summary receiver operator characteristic curves were plotted to assess the overall diagnostic performance of miRNAs. Chi‐squared and I2 tests were used to assess the heterogeneity between studies. Additionally, we conducted subgroup and sensitivity analyses to analyze the potential sources of heterogeneity. In total, 33 studies from 12 articles were available in this meta‐analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratio (PLR, NLR) diagnostic odds ratio, and area under the curve were 0.80, 0.80, 4.0, 0.25, 16, and 0.87, respectively. Subgroup analyses based on the sample types (saliva‐, serum‐ and plasma‐based) showed no differences in the diagnostic accuracy of each subgroup. An independent meta‐analysis of eight articles was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of miRNAs in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, with a pooled sensitivity of 0.77, specificity of 0.83, PLR of 4.4, NLR of 0.27, diagnostic odds ratio of 16, and area under the curve of 0.87. In conclusion, this meta‐analysis demonstrates the feasibility of using miRNAs as non‐invasive biomarkers to discriminate esophageal cancer from healthy controls. However, further high‐quality studies on more clearly defined esophageal cancer patient are needed to confirm our conclusion.  相似文献

Intrathoracic lymph node metastases in patients with extrathoracic malignancies are a common clinical manifestation. Several studies evaluating intrathoracic lymph node metastases in patients with extrathoracic malignancy by using the endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) have been reported. The objective of this meta‐analysis is to investigate the diagnostic value of EBUS‐TBNA for diagnosing intrathoracic lymph node metastases in patients with extrathoracic malignancies. We systematically searched Cochrane Library, Medline and Embase for relevant studies published prior to May 2013. Studies specifically designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of EBUS‐TBNA for intrathoracic lymph node metastases in patients with an extrathoracic malignancy were selected. Diagnostic accuracy meta‐analysis was conducted by pooling estimates of sensitivity, specificity, negative likelihood ratio (NLR), positive likelihood ratio (PLR) and diagnostic odds ratios (DOR) derived from a summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) analysis of the original studies. Six studies were included, which provided a dataset of 533 patients. EBUS‐TBNA pooled estimates had 0.85 sensitivity (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.80–0.89), 0.99 specificity (95% CI: 0.95–1.00), PLR 28.63 (95% CI: 11.51–71.22) and NLR 0.16 (95% CI: 0.12–0.21). The overall DOR was 179.77 (95% CI: 66.29–487.50). The area under the SROC curve and the diagnostic accuracy were 0.9247 and 0.8588, respectively. Evidence gathered from studies of moderate quality reveals a high degree of diagnostic accuracy of EBUS‐TBNA for diagnosing intrathoracic lymph node metastases in patients with extrathoracic malignancies.  相似文献

We sought to perform a meta‐analysis to comprehensively evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of dual‐source computed tomography angiography (DSCTA) in detecting coronary in‐stent restenosis (CISR) when compared to invasive coronary angiography. The stent‐based research studies in which DSCTA was used as diagnostic tool for CISR, as recent as of October 2017, from several reputed scientific libraries (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science) were evaluated. Study inclusion, data extraction, and risk bias assessment were conducted by two researchers independently. Pooled sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under summary receiver operator characteristics (SROC) curve (AUC) were calculated to assess the diagnostic value. In addition, heterogeneity and subgroup analysis were also carried out. A total of 13 studies with a total of 894 patients and 1384 assessable stents were included. The pooled results of DSCTA diagnosing CISR were as follows: SEN 0.92 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.87–0.96), SPE 0.91 (95% CI 0.87–0.94), PLR 9.83 (95% CI 6.93–13.94), NLR 0.09 (95% CI 0.05–0.15), DOR 114.73 (95% CI 64.12–205.28), and AUC 0.97 (95% CI 0.95–0.98), respectively. The subgroup analysis result suggested that DSTCA performed significantly better in CISR detection when the stent diameter was ≥3 mm compared with the stent diameter <3 mm: (0.98 [0.97–0.99] vs 0.82 [0.79–0.86]) with P < .05. This study revealed that DSCTA has excellent diagnostic performance for detecting CISR and may serve as an alternative for further patient evaluation with CISR, especially for stent diameter ≥3 mm.  相似文献

Literature suggests that ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) has excellent performance characteristics for diagnosis of sarcoidosis. However, many authors challenge the external validity of EBUS‐TBNA results, as most studies were performed in referral centres by highly experienced investigators, and included populations with very high sarcoidosis prevalence. We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to estimate the role of EBUS‐TBNA for diagnosis of sarcoidosis in studies enrolling consecutive patients with lymphadenopathy detected at imaging studies, regardless of the suspected underlying clinical aetiology. The Pubmed, Embase, Cinahl, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were screened to identify the pertinent literature. Quality of eligible studies was assessed by Quality Assessment, Data Abstraction and Synthesis‐2 criteria. Pooled diagnostic yield, sensitivity and specificity were calculated, and a summary receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed. Subgroup analysis was planned to identify possible sources of study heterogeneity. Fourteen studies, collectively involving 2097 patients, fulfilled eligibility criteria. The median prevalence of sarcoidosis was 15%. EBUS‐TBNA had a pooled diagnostic yield of 0.79 (standard deviation, 0.24), a pooled sensitivity of 0.84 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.79–0.88) and a pooled specificity of 1.00 (95% CI, 0.99–1.00). Only subgroup analysis exploring the influence of study design seemed to influence the observed inter‐study heterogeneity for sensitivity, retrospective studies showing worst sensitivity than prospective ones. The results of EBUS‐TBNA for diagnosis of sarcoidosis in clinically unselected populations are excellent and compare favourably with published results from studies conducted in selected populations. High‐quality trials would be needed to evaluate factors possibly explaining the observed heterogeneity in sensitivity.  相似文献

Background and Aim: We aimed to explore the role of the diagnostic accuracy of 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F‐FDG PET) in detecting recurrent gastric cancer through a systematic review and meta‐analysis. Methods: The MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cancerlit, and Cochrane Library database, from January 2001 to July 2011, were searched for studies evaluating the diagnostic performance of 18F‐FDG PET in detecting recurrent gastric cancer. We determined the sensitivities and specificities across studies, calculated positive and negative likelihood ratios (LR+ and LR?), and constructed summary receiver operating characteristic curves. We also compared the performance of 18F‐FDG PET with computed tomography (CT) by analyzing studies that had also used these diagnostic methods on the same patients. Results: Across nine studies (526 patients), the overall sensitivity of 18F‐FDG PET was 0.78 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.68–0.86), and the overall specificity was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.76–0.87). Overall, LR+ was 3.52 (95% CI: 2.68–4.63) and LR? was 0.32 (95% CI: 0.22–0.46). In studies in which both 18F‐FDG PET and other diagnostic tests were performed, the sensitivity and specificity of 18F‐FDG PET were 0.72 (95% CI: 0.62–0.80) and 0.84 (95% CI: 0.77–0.90), respectively; of contrast CT, they were 0.74 (95% CI: 0.64–0.83) and 0.85 (95% CI: 0.78–0.90), respectively; and of combined PET and CT, they were 0.75 (95% CI: 0.67–0.82) and 0.85 (95% CI 0.79–0.90), respectively. Study sensitivity was not correlated with the prevalence of recurrent gastric cancer. Conclusion: 18F‐FDG PET has good diagnostic performance in the overall evaluation of recurrent gastric cancer, but still has some limited performance compared with contrast CT. 18F‐FDG PET combined with CT might improve the diagnostic performance in detecting recurrent gastric cancer.  相似文献

Background and objective: The diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy by analysis of pleural fluid using standard diagnostic tools is difficult. Recently, T‐cell interferon‐γ release assays (IGRA) have been introduced for the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy. The aim of the present meta‐analysis was to establish the overall diagnostic accuracy of IGRA on both pleural fluid and peripheral blood, for diagnosing tuberculous pleurisy. Methods: A systematic review was performed of English language publications. Sensitivity, specificity and other measures of the accuracy of IGRA for the diagnosis tuberculous pleurisy using both pleural fluid and blood were pooled using a random‐effects model or a fixed‐effects model. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to summarize overall test performance. Results: Seven out of eight studies met the inclusion criteria. The summary estimates of sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic odds ratio were, for pleural fluid: 0.75, 0.82, 3.49, 0.24, 0.85, 0.70 and 19.04, respectively; and for blood: 0.80, 0.72, 2.86, 0.28, 0.78, 0.74 and 11.06, respectively. Conclusions: As almost 20% of non‐tuberculosis patients would be erroneously treated for tuberculosis and 25% of patients with tuberculous pleurisy would be missed, pleural fluid IGRA are not useful for the clinical diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy.  相似文献

Background and aims: The meta-analysis aimed to summarize the technical success rate of supersonic shear imaging (SSI) and to evaluate the diagnostic performance of liver and spleen stiffness measurement (LSM and SSM) with SSI for the detection of liver fibrosis, portal hypertension, and gastroesophageal varices in liver diseases.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. Technical success rate of SSI was pooled. Area under curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity with corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated.

Results: Included studies regarding the diagnostic performance of SSI for liver fibrosis, portal hypertension, and esophageal varices numbered 28, 4, and 4 respectively. The pooled technical success rates of LSM and SSM were 95.3% and 75.5%, respectively. The AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of LSM/SSM for different stages of liver fibrosis were 0.85–0.94, 0.7–0.89, and 0.82–0.92, respectively. The AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of LSM were 0.84 (95%CI = 0.8–0.86), 0.79 (95%CI = 0.7–0.85), and 0.82 (95%CI = 0.72–0.88) for clinically significant portal hypertension, 0.85 (95%CI = 0.82–0.88), 0.8 (95%CI = 0.68–0.88), and 0.8 (95%CI = 0.6–0.92) for any varices, and 0.86 (95%CI = 0.83–0.89), 0.86 (95%CI = 0.76–0.92), and 0.61 (95%CI = 0.35–0.83) for high-risk varices, respectively.

Conclusions: LSM with SSI had a high diagnostic accuracy for liver fibrosis, but a moderate diagnostic accuracy for portal hypertension and esophageal varices.  相似文献

Although electrocardiography (ECG) is a cost‐effective and convenient tool for routine screening of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), its performance has been shown to be poor. The Peguero‐Lo Presti, a novel voltage criterion, was found to be potentially better than the most commonly used criteria. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of its diagnostic accuracy compared to Cornell and Sokolow‐Lyon voltage criteria. Bibliographic databases were searched to identify relevant articles. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and summary receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed for comparison. Ten studies reporting data from 5984 individuals were included in the meta‐analysis. Peguero‐Lo Presti had the highest pooled sensitivity (43.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 30.2‐56.9) followed by Cornell (26.1%; 95% CI: 16.9‐37.9) and Sokolow Lyon (22.0%; 95% CI: 14.1‐32.7). However, Peguero‐Lo Presti had the lesser pooled specificity (90.5%; 95% CI: 86.3‐93.5) and Cornell the highest (94.9%; 95% CI: 90.3‐97.3). The pooled DOR was 6.63 (95% CI: 3.95‐11.13), 5.50 (95% CI: 3.64‐8.30), and 2.94 (95% CI: 2.20‐3.92) for Peguero‐Lo Presti, Cornell, and Sokolow‐Lyon, respectively. Peguero‐Lo Presti had the best accuracy according to summary ROC curves, with an area under the curve of 0.827 compared to 0.715 for Cornell, and 0.623 for Sokolow‐Lyon. In conclusion, according to this meta‐analysis, Peguero‐Lo Presti has a better diagnostic performance than Cornell and Sokolow‐Lyon and might be more useful in routine clinical practice as a screening tool for LVH.  相似文献

This study aimed to systematically review and meta‐analyze the value of pretransplant FDG‐PET in predicting outcome after autologous stem cell transplantation in aggressive non‐Hodgkin lymphoma. MEDLINE was systematically searched; included studies were methodologically assessed and meta‐analyzed, when possible. Overall methodological quality of included studies (n = 11) was poor, with moderate risk of bias in the domains of study participation (n = 7) and prognostic factor measurement (n = 7), and high risk of bias in the domains of outcome measurement (n = 10), and study confounding (n = 11). In all aggressive non‐Hodgkin lymphomas, pooled sensitivity and specificity were 54.0% and 73.1% in predicting treatment failure, and 54.5% and 68.7% in predicting death. Because of interstudy heterogeneity, additional subgroup analyses were performed. In newly diagnosed aggressive non‐Hodgkin lymphoma, pooled sensitivity and specificity were 20.0% and 70.0% in predicting treatment failure, and 8.3% % and 30.5% in predicting death. In refractory/relapsed aggressive non‐Hodgkin lymphoma, pooled sensitivity and specificity were 68.1% and 72.1% in predicting treatment failure, and 77.3% and 69.6% in predicting death. At present, pretransplant FDG‐PET cannot be recommended in aggressive non‐Hodgkin lymphoma, because available studies suffer from major methodological flaws, and reported prognostic estimates are low (i.e., poor in newly diagnosed and moderate in refractory/relapsed aggressive non‐Hodgkin lymphoma).  相似文献

AIM: To undertake a meta-analysis on the value of urinary trypsinogen activation peptide (uTAP) in predicting severity of acute pancreatitis on admission. METHODS: Major databases including Medline, Embase, Science Citation Index Expanded and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials in the Cochrane Library were searched to identify all relevant studies from January 1990 to January 2013. Pooled sensitivity, specificity and the diagnostic odds ratios (DORs) with 95%CI were calculated for each study and were compared to other systems/biomarkers if mentioned within the same study. Summary receiver-operating curves were conducted and the area under the curve (AUC) was evaluated. RESULTS: In total, six studies of uTAP with a cut-off value of 35 nmol/L were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, the pooled sensitivity and specificity of uTAP for predicting severity of acute pancreatitis, at time of admission, was 71% and 75%, respectively (AUC = 0.83, DOR = 8.67, 95%CI: 3.70-20.33). When uTAP was compared with plasma C-reactive protein, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, AUC and DOR were 0.64 vs 0.67, 0.77 vs 0.75, 0.82 vs 0.79 and 6.27 vs 6.32, respectively. Similarly, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, AUC and DOR of uTAPvs Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ within the first 48 h of admission were found to be 0.64 vs 0.69, 0.77 vs 0.61, 0.82 vs 0.73 and 6.27vs 4.61, respectively. CONCLUSION: uTAP has the potential to act as a stratification marker on admission for differentiating disease severity of acute pancreatitis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the performance of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer (EGC).METHODS: Systematic literature searches were conducted until February 2014 in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Ovid, Scopus and the Cochrane Library databases by two independent reviewers. Meta-analysis was performed to calculate the pooled sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio and to construct a summary receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Subgroup analyses were performed based on the morphology type of lesions, diagnostic standard, the size of lesions, type of assessment, country and sample size to explore possible sources of heterogeneity. A Deeks’ asymmetry test was used to evaluate the publication bias.RESULTS: Fourteen studies enrolling 2171 patients were included. The pooled sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio for ME-NBI diagnosis of EGC were 0.86 (95%CI: 0.83-0.89), 0.96 (95%CI: 0.95-0.97) and 102.75 (95%CI: 48.14-219.32), respectively, with the area under ROC curve being 0.9623. Among the 14 studies, six also evaluated the diagnostic value of conventional white-light imaging, with a sensitivity of 0.57 (95%CI: 0.50-0.64) and a specificity of 0.79 (95%CI: 0.76-0.81). When using “VS” (vessel plus surface) ME-NBI diagnostic systems in gastric lesions of depressed macroscopic type, the pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.64 (95%CI: 0.52-0.75) and 0.96 (95%CI: 0.95-0.98). For the lesions with a diameter less than 10 mm, the sensitivity and specificity were 0.74 (95%CI: 0.65-0.82) and 0.98 (95%CI: 0.97-0.98).CONCLUSION: ME-NBI is a promising endoscopic tool in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer and might be helpful in further target biopsy.  相似文献

Narrow band imaging (NBI) is a real‐time imaging technique. The aim of this meta‐analysis was to estimate the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy on the role of NBI in the detection and characterization of specialized intestinal metaplasia (SIM), high‐grade dysplasia (HGD) in the Barrett's esophagus. We identified studies by performing a literature search of Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases up to May 2013. We performed data analysis using Meta‐DiSc (version 1.4) software. To assess study quality and potential for bias, we used the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies‐2 tool (QUADAS‐2). Overall, seven eligible studies including over 3988 lesions of 502 patients were retrieved. The results showed that endoscopic diagnosis of dysplasia performed using NBI has a high diagnostic performance, with an area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve near 0.90 both in HGD lesions and SIM lesions. We also found that NBI has a sensitive and specificity of 0.91 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.86–0.94) and 0.85 (95% CI = 0.76–0.92) on a per‐patient element, and 0.97 (95% CI = 0.95–0.98) and 0.64 (95% CI = 0.59–0.68) on a per‐lesion element for SIM diagnosis, respectively. The pooled per‐patient sensitivity and specificity for identifying HGD are 0.91 (95% CI = 0.75–0.98) and 0.95 (95% CI = 0.91–0.97). The pooled per‐lesion sensitivity and specificity for identifying HGD are 0.69 (95% CI = 0.63–0.74) and 0.90 (95% CI = 0.88–0.91). In conclusion, we found that endoscopic diagnosis with NBI is an accurate test to diagnosis dysplasia of Barrett's esophagus.  相似文献

Introduction and objectivesFatty liver disease is an important public health problem. Early diagnosis is critical to lower its rate of progression to irreversible/terminal stages. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of non-invasive prediction scores for fatty liver disease (NAFLD and NASH) diagnosis in adults.Materials and methodsA search was conducted in 10 databases, a qualitative synthesis of 45 studies, and quantitative analysis of the six most common scores. There were 23 risk scores found for NAFLD diagnosis and 32 for NASH diagnosis. The most used were Fatty Liver Index (FLI), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to Platelet Ratio Index, Fibrosis-4 Index (FIB-4), AST/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ratio, BARD score, and NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS).ResultsThe results from the meta-analysis for FLI: Area under the curve (AUC) of 0.76 (95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.73, 0.80), sensitivity 0.67 (CI 95% 0.62, 0.72) and specificity 0.78 (CI 95% 0.74, 0.83). The AST to Platelet Ratio Index: AUC 0.83 (CI 95% 0.80, 0.86), sensitivity 0.45 (95% CI 0.29, 0.62), and specificity of 0.89 (95% CI 0.83, 0.92). The NFS: AUC of 0.82 (CI 95% 0.78, 0.85), sensitivity 0.30 (CI 95% 0.27, 0.33) and specificity 0.96 (CI 95% 0.95,0.96).ConclusionsThe FLI for NAFLD and AST to Platelet Ratio Index for NASH were the risk scores with the highest prognostic value in the included studies. Further research is needed for the application of new diagnostic risk scores for NAFLD and NASH.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the potential role of positron emission tomography (PET) in the diagnosis, staging and prognosis predicting of pancreatic carcinoma (PC). METHODS: A systematic review of relevant literatures in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library was performed. The sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic and staging studies, and HRs for prognosis predicting studies were pooled. The bivariate model was used for diagnostic studies and the random-effect model for prognostic studies. Heterogeneity between included studies was tested using χ 2 test, and subgroup analysis was performed to explain the heterogeneities. All of the calculations were performed using Stata version 11.0.RESULTS: A total of 39 studies were included. The pooled sensitivity of PET in diagnosing PC (30 studies, 1582 patients), evaluating N stating (4 studies, 101 patients) and liver metastasis (7 studies, 316 patients) were 0.91 (95%CI: 0.88-0.93), 0.64 (95%CI: 0.50-0.76), and 0.67 (95%CI: 0.52-0.79), respectively; and the corresponding specificity was 0.81 (95%CI: 0.75-0.85), 0.81 (95%CI: 0.25-0.85), and 0.96 (95%CI: 0.89-0.98), respectively. In prognosis analysis (6 studies, 198 patients), significant difference of overall survival was observed between high and low standardized uptake value groups (HR = 2.39, 95%CI: 1.57-3.63). Subgroup analysis showed that PET/CT was more sensitive than PET alone in evaluating liver metastasis of PC, 0.82 (95%CI: 0.48-0.98) and 0.67 (95%CI: 0.52-0.79), respectively. CONCLUSION: PET can be used as a valuable diagnostic and predictive tool for PC, but its effect in the staging of PC remains indeterminate.  相似文献

For assessing response to neoadjuvant therapy in patients with esophageal cancer, both endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) are commonly used, and despite few controlled trials, it is not known if one imaging modality is superior to the other. Also, relative diagnostic accuracy of early (during the course of neoadjuvant therapy) and FDG‐PET after completion of neoadjuvant therapy has not been reviewed. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of published information to compare diagnostic accuracy of EUS and FDG‐PET in this setting. A search of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases was performed along with a manual search of cross‐references of eligible articles. Data on the accuracy of the imaging modalities were compared by constructing summary receiver‐operating characteristic curves. Seven studies with EUS and 15 with FDG‐PET were included in the final analysis (N= 966). The sensitivity of EUS and FDG‐PET ranged from 20 to 100% and 42 to 100%, respectively. The specificity ranged from 36 to 100% and 27 to 100%, respectively. The areas under the curve were 0.86 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.77–0.96) for EUS and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.72–0.89) for FDG PET (P= 0.37). The maximum joint sensitivity and specificity (Q* index) values for EUS and FDG‐PET were 0.79 (95% CI: 0.70–0.88) and 0.74 (95% CI: 0.66–0.81), respectively (P= 0.38). There was no difference in accuracy between early FDG‐PET and FDG‐PET after completion of neoadjuvant therapy. EUS and FDG‐PET have similar overall diagnostic accuracy for assessment of response to neoadjuvant therapy in patients with esophageal cancer.  相似文献

Background: There is still a debate on which imaging method is the best to diagnose cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Accordingly, this study aimed to analyze the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (US) on the detection of CSP based on current evidence in the literature.Methods:PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Chinese Biomedical Documentation Service System, WanFang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were searched up to June 2020. The included studies were all comparisons of MRI and US in the diagnosis of CSP that adopted postoperative histological examination as the reference standard. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated for MRI and US.Results:Thirteen studies were included, with a total sample size of 948 patients. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, and AUC of MRI in diagnosing CSP were 0.93 (95% CI, 0.91-0.95), 0.83 (95% CI, 0.75-0.89), 5.46 (95% CI, 3.70-8.05), 0.08 (95% CI, 0.06-0.11), and 0.96 (95% CI, 0.93-0.97), respectively; for US they were 0.84 (95% CI, 0.79-0.88), 0.73 (95% CI, 0.62-0.81), 3.06 (95% CI, 2.22-4.21), 0.23 (95% CI, 0.18-0.28), and 0.86 (95% CI, 0.83-0.89), respectively.Conclusion:We found that both MRI and US effectively diagnosed CSP; however, MRI had a higher diagnostic performance in detecting CSP than US.  相似文献
