In this review, we investigated the diagnostic value of the sonographic "whirlpool sign" in identifying ovarian torsion. This was done by performing a search in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Google scholar. Additional search for the grey literature was made in EThOS.bl.uk, explore.bl.uk, opengrey.eu, greylit.org, and clinicaltrials.org. A total of eight studies were included in this meta-analysis. Sensitivity and specificity of whirlpool sign were extracted from the studies and computed into the Metadisc statistical software for pooled analysis. The whirlpool sign showed a high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of ovarian torsion.
在本次综述中，我们研究了超声“漩涡征”在诊断卵巢扭转中的价值。检索数据库包括 PubMed、Scopus、Embase、Web of Science、CINAHL 和 Google Scholar，同时在 EThOS.bl.uk、explore.bl.uk、opengrey.eu、greylit.org 和 clinicaltrials.org 等灰色文献数据库中进行了补充检索。本 meta 分析共纳入 8 项研究。漩涡征的敏感度和特异度从研究中提取出来，并输入到 Metadisc 统计软件进行汇总分析。漩涡征对诊断卵巢扭转具有较高的敏感度和特异度。
