Rapid laboratory detection is essential to diagnose norovirus infection. LAMP has many advantages compared with RT-PCR for detecting norovirus, including high sensitivity, high specificity, rapidity, low cost, and intuitive results, which can be easily read with the naked eye with the help of color-based reporters. In this study, we intend to analyze the accuracy of LAMP methods for the diagnosis of norovirus infection.
Two researchers independently retrieved relevant literature up to January 2021 (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, Wan Fang, and VIP). The researchers screened all articles and extracted their research data for meta-analysis. QUADAS-2 tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies by Review Manager 5.3. Forest plots were performed by Meta-DiSc 1.4 to evaluate the accuracy of the test. Deeks' funnel plot symmetry tests were conducted by Stata 15.0 to check the potential publication bias.
Eleven sets of data extracted from the eight included studies were included for meta-analysis. For the detection of norovirus, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive LR, negative LR, diagnostic OR, and their 95% CI were 0.96 (0.95-0.97), 0.99 (0.99-1.00), 91.14 (31.88-260.56), 0.06 (0.04-0.09), and 1473.68 (562.96-3857.70), respectively. Besides, AUC in the SROC curve was 0.9920.
LAMP had high sensitivity and specificity in terms of the diagnosis of norovirus infection. However, further extension of this approach should be researched to ensure the accuracy and practicability of this hopeful test in the future.
快速的实验室检测对于诊断诺如病毒感染至关重要。与 RT-PCR 相比,LAMP 具有许多优势,包括高灵敏度、高特异性、快速、低成本和直观的结果,借助基于颜色的报告器可以很容易地用肉眼读取。本研究旨在分析 LAMP 方法诊断诺如病毒感染的准确性。
两位研究人员独立检索了截至 2021 年 1 月的相关文献(PubMed、Web of Science、Cochrane Library、Embase、CNKI、万方和 VIP)。研究人员筛选了所有文章并提取了他们的研究数据进行荟萃分析。使用 Review Manager 5.3 中的 QUADAS-2 工具评估纳入研究的质量。通过 Meta-DiSc 1.4 进行森林图分析以评估检验的准确性。使用 Stata 15.0 进行 Deeks' 漏斗图对称性检验以检查潜在的发表偏倚。
从 8 项纳入的研究中提取了 11 组数据进行荟萃分析。用于检测诺如病毒时,汇总的敏感性、特异性、阳性似然比、阴性似然比、诊断比值比及其 95%CI 分别为 0.96(0.95-0.97)、0.99(0.99-1.00)、91.14(31.88-260.56)、0.06(0.04-0.09)和 1473.68(562.96-3857.70)。此外,SROC 曲线中的 AUC 为 0.9920。
LAMP 在诊断诺如病毒感染方面具有较高的灵敏度和特异性。然而,为了确保这种有前途的检测在未来的准确性和实用性,应进一步研究该方法的扩展。
