The present study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the detection of bone marrow involvement (BMI) in paediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases were searched from the earliest available date of indexing till March 31, 2020 for studies evaluating the diagnostic performance of F-18 FDG PET/CT in the detection of BMI in paediatric HL.
Across seven studies (1265 patients), the pooled sensitivity of F-18 FDG PET or PET/CT was 0.95 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.87-0.98) with heterogeneity (I = 86.2, p < 0.001), and the pooled specificity was 0.97 (95% CI: 0.84-1.00) with heterogeneity (I = 97.2, p < 0.001). Likelihood ratio syntheses provided an overall positive likelihood ratio of 37.8 (95% CI: 5.2-274.9) and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.05 (95% CI: 0.02-0.14). The pooled diagnostic odds ratio was 732 (95% CI: 55-9806). The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.98 (95% CI: 0.97-0.99).
The present meta-analysis revealed high sensitivity and specificity of F-18 FDG PET/CT for the detection of BMI in paediatric HL. Currently, the literature regarding the use of F-18 FDG PET/CT for the detection of BMI in paediatric HL is limited. Large multicentre studies are necessary to substantiate the diagnostic accuracy of F-18 FDG PET/CT in the detection of BMI in paediatric HL.
Through a meta-analysis, this study provided a more reliable assessment of the diagnostic utility of F-18 FDG PET/CT, which exhibited good diagnostic accuracy in the detection of BMI in paediatric HL.
本研究旨在通过系统评价和荟萃分析,探讨 18F 氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)在诊断儿科霍奇金淋巴瘤(HL)骨髓受累(BMI)中的诊断性能。
从最早的索引日期到 2020 年 3 月 31 日,检索 PubMed、Cochrane 和 EMBASE 数据库,以评估 18F FDG PET/CT 在诊断儿科 HL 中 BMI 的诊断性能的研究。
在 7 项研究(1265 例患者)中,18F FDG PET 或 PET/CT 的汇总敏感性为 0.95(95%置信区间[CI]:0.87-0.98),存在异质性(I=86.2,p<0.001),汇总特异性为 0.97(95%CI:0.84-1.00),存在异质性(I=97.2,p<0.001)。似然比综合分析提供了一个总的阳性似然比为 37.8(95%CI:5.2-274.9)和一个阴性似然比为 0.05(95%CI:0.02-0.14)。汇总诊断优势比为 732(95%CI:55-9806)。汇总受试者工作特征曲线下面积为 0.98(95%CI:0.97-0.99)。
本荟萃分析显示,18F FDG PET/CT 对儿科 HL 的 BMI 检测具有较高的敏感性和特异性。目前,关于 18F FDG PET/CT 用于儿科 HL 中 BMI 检测的文献有限。需要进行大型多中心研究来证实 18F FDG PET/CT 在儿科 HL 中 BMI 检测中的诊断准确性。
通过荟萃分析,本研究对 18F FDG PET/CT 的诊断效用进行了更可靠的评估,结果表明其在儿科 HL 中 BMI 检测中的诊断准确性较好。
