At present, the infection and prevalence rates of tuberculosis (TB) are still high in worldwide. The Xpert MTB/RIF technology has improved the diagnosis speed of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and facilitated the rapid treatment of TB patients.
We searched experimental data derived from Xpert MTB/RIF for detecting MTB in gastric aspirates in PubMed, Embase, Web Of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases between January 2012 to April 2019. A summary receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC curve) was used to analyze the pooled sensitivity, pooled specificity, PLR, NLR, and DOR for determining the accuracy of the test.
Our database search resulted in 10 relevant articles. The pooled sensitivity of Xpert MTB/RIF for detecting TB in GA was 86% (95% CI, 83-89%), and I2 = 93.4%. The pooled specificity was 92% (95% CI, 90-93%) and I2 = 97.8%. In addition, the positive LR was 12.12 (95% CI, 5.60-26.21), negative LR was 0.20 (95% CI, 0.11-0.36), and the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was 147.04 (95% CI, 37.20-581.19). Using the SROC curve, the AUC was 0.9730 and Q* was 0.9248 (SE = 0.0261). The publication bias was P=0.517 (P>0.05).
The Xpert MTB/RIF for detecting MTB in gastric aspirates was highly accurate. In addition, we observed that the publication bias in the present study was low. Hence, the Xpert MTB/RIF technology is highly accurate and has the advantage of rapid testing for MTB in clinical samples.
目前,结核病(TB)的感染率和流行率在全球范围内仍然很高。Xpert MTB/RIF 技术提高了分枝杆菌(MTB)的诊断速度,有助于快速治疗 TB 患者。
我们在 PubMed、Embase、Web Of Science 和 Cochrane Library 数据库中检索了 2012 年 1 月至 2019 年 4 月期间关于 Xpert MTB/RIF 检测胃抽吸物中 MTB 的实验数据。使用汇总受试者工作特征曲线(SROC 曲线)分析检测试验的准确性的汇总敏感性、汇总特异性、阳性似然比、阴性似然比和诊断比值比(DOR)。
我们的数据库检索结果有 10 篇相关文章。Xpert MTB/RIF 检测 GA 中 TB 的汇总敏感性为 86%(95%CI,83-89%),I2=93.4%。汇总特异性为 92%(95%CI,90-93%),I2=97.8%。此外,阳性似然比为 12.12(95%CI,5.60-26.21),阴性似然比为 0.20(95%CI,0.11-0.36),诊断比值比(DOR)为 147.04(95%CI,37.20-581.19)。使用 SROC 曲线,AUC 为 0.9730,Q*为 0.9248(SE=0.0261)。发表偏倚 P=0.517(P>0.05)。
Xpert MTB/RIF 检测胃抽吸物中的 MTB 具有很高的准确性。此外,我们发现本研究的发表偏倚较低。因此,Xpert MTB/RIF 技术具有快速检测临床样本中 MTB 的优势,准确性高。
