OBJECTIVE: Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (FDG PET/CT) has become popular for diagnosing periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). However, the diagnostic accuracy for this technique has varied from report to report. This meta-analysis was performed to assess the accuracy of FDG PET/CT for PJI diagnosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a systematic search of online academic databases for all studies reporting the diagnostic accuracy of FDG PET/CT for PJI. Meta-analysis was performed using STATA software. RESULTS: 23 studies, containing data on 1,437 patients, met inclusion criteria. Pooled sensitivity and specificity of FDG PET/CT for diagnosing PJI were 85% (95% CI, 76%, 91%) and 86% (95% CI, 78%, 91%), respectively with an AUC of 0.92. LRP was 6.1 (95% CI, 3.8, 9.7) and LRN was 0.17 (0.11, 0.28), indicating that FDG PET/CT cannot be used for confirmation or exclusion of PJI. There was significant inter-study heterogeneity, but no significant publication bias was noted. CONCLUSIONS: Our study found that FDG PET/CT has an important role as a diagnostic tool for PJI with high sensitivity and specificity. Further studies exploring its accuracy in different PJI locations remain necessary.
目的:氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(FDG PET/CT)在诊断人工关节周围感染(PJI)方面已变得很普遍。然而,该技术的诊断准确性在不同报告中有所不同。本荟萃分析旨在评估FDG PET/CT诊断PJI的准确性。 材料与方法:我们对在线学术数据库进行了系统检索,以查找所有报告FDG PET/CT诊断PJI准确性的研究。使用STATA软件进行荟萃分析。 结果:23项研究符合纳入标准,包含1437例患者的数据。FDG PET/CT诊断PJI的合并敏感性和特异性分别为85%(95%CI,76%,91%)和86%(95%CI,78%,91%),AUC为0.92。阳性似然比为6.1(95%CI,3.8,9.7),阴性似然比为0.17(0.11,0.28),表明FDG PET/CT不能用于确诊或排除PJI。研究间存在显著异质性,但未发现显著的发表偏倚。 结论:我们的研究发现,FDG PET/CT作为一种诊断工具,在PJI诊断中具有重要作用,具有较高的敏感性和特异性。进一步研究其在不同PJI部位的准确性仍然很有必要。
