The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of carotid ultrasound (CU) for early diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis (CAS).
Literatures will be sought from the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PSYCINFO, Web of Science, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. The search will cover from the start of indexing to the present without any limitations of language and publication status. All study quality will be assessed by Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool, and data will be analyzed by RevMan V.5.3 software and Stata V.12.0 software.
This study will investigate the impact of CU for early diagnosis of CAS through sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio.
The findings of this study may provide helpful evidence for the impact of CU for early diagnosis of CAS.

本研究旨在探讨颈动脉超声（CU）对颈动脉狭窄（CAS）早期诊断的影响。
将从以下电子数据库检索文献：MEDLINE、EMBASE、Cochrane图书馆、PSYCINFO、科学引文索引、补充与替代医学数据库以及中国知网。检索范围涵盖从索引开始至当前，无语言及出版状态限制。所有研究质量将通过诊断准确性研究质量评估工具进行评估，数据将使用RevMan V.5.3软件和Stata V.12.0软件进行分析。
本研究将通过灵敏度、特异度、阳性似然比、阴性似然比和诊断比值比来研究CU对CAS早期诊断的影响。
本研究结果可能为CU对CAS早期诊断的影响提供有用证据。
