Abstract Background Infection is one of the leading causes of death in burn patients. Many researches regard neutrophil CD64 (nCD64) as a biomarker in the early diagnosis of burn patients with infection. Nevertheless, the conclusions are controversial. Methods A comprehensive analysis of the diagnostic value of nCD64 for burn infection was performed in China using a meta-analysis method. Pubmed, Cochrane library, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and China Wanfang databases were searched for studies on nCD64 as a diagnostic biomarker of burn patients with infection from the establishment of the databases to September 29, 2020. The data was analyzed by Stata 15.0 software. Results Six studies were identified. The results showed that the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and DOR were 0.92 (95%CI:0.88~0.95), 0.82 (95%CI:0.76~0.87), 5.10 (95%CI:3.90~6.80), 0.10 (95%CI:0.06~0.15) and 52 (95%CI:29~94), respectively. The area under curve (AUC) was 0.94 (95%CI:0.92~0.94). According to the analysis of the sepsis subgroup, it showed that nCD64 had good diagnostic value in the patients with burn sepsis in Chinese population. Conclusion nCD64 is highly efficient to diagnose burn infection in Chinese population. Therefore, nCD64 could be regarded as a valuable biomarker for early diagnosis of burn infection in China, especially in patients with burn sepsis. Combined with other diagnostic indexes, nCD64 can be clinically used in the early diagnosis of burn infection to improve the sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract The aim of the study was to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the accuracy of neutrophil CD64, procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) for the diagnosis of sepsis. The sample articles were searched in various databases to collect published studies on the diagnosis of sepsis by neutrophil CD64, PCT, and IL-6. By using the Stata SE 15.0 software, forest plots and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio, and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated. 54 articles were included in the study. The number of studies that evaluated the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64, PCT, and interleukin-6 were 20, 39, and 15, respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of neutrophil CD64 for the diagnosis of sepsis were 0.88 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.81–0.92], 0.88 (95% CI, 0.83–0.91), and 0.94 (95% CI, 0.91–0.96), respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of PCT for the diagnosis of sepsis were 0.82 (95% CI, 0.78–0.85), 0.78 (95% CI, 0.74–0.82), and 0.87 (95% CI, 0.83–0.89), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that the AUC for PCT diagnosis of intensive care unit (ICU) sepsis was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.83–0.89) and the AUC for PCT diagnosis of non-ICU sepsis was 0.82 (95% CI, 0.78–0.85). The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of IL-6 for the diagnosis of sepsis were 0.72 (95% CI, 0.65–0.78), 0.70 (95% CI, 0.62–0.76), and 0.77 (95% CI, 0.73–0.80), respectively. Of the three biomarkers studied, neutrophil CD64 showed the highest diagnostic value for sepsis, followed by PCT, and IL-6. On the other hand, PCT showed a better diagnostic value for the diagnosis of sepsis in patients with severe conditions compared with that in patients with non-severe conditions.

Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second incurable hematological malignancy. In recent years, due to the rise of microRNA (miRNA), many scholars have participated in the study of its value in the diagnosis of MM, and have obtained good but inconsistent results. Therefore, in order to determine the role of miRNA in the early diagnosis of MM, we searched for related studies including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Database as of July 20, 2020 to conduct this meta-analysis. To improve the accuracy, the quality assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Study 2 (QUADAS-2) was used. We also applied random effects models to summarize sensitivity and specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and area under the curve (AUC) to measure diagnostic values, and subgroup analysis used to discover potential sources of heterogeneity. Finally, we collected 32 studies from 15 articles that included a total of 2053 MM patients and 1118 healthy controls. The overall sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, DOR and AUC were 0.81, 0.85, 5.5, 0.22, 25 and 0.90, respectively. Subgroup analysis shows that the down-regulation of microRNA clusters with larger samples size of plasma type could carry out a better diagnostic accuracy of MM patients. In addition, publication bias was not found. In conclusion, circulating miRNA could be a potential non-invasive biomarker for early diagnosis of MM. However, multi-center, more rigorous, and larger-scale studies are needed to verify our conclusions.

Abstract Background HLA-DR is a common and significant biomarker in sepsis. However, as a biomarker of post-traumatic sepsis, there are few studies. This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the value of HLA-DR in the diagnosis of severe traumatic sepsis. Methods We developed a strategy for literature retrieval from the PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science,EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. All studies published until June 1, 2021, were retrieved. All studies that were included considered HLA-DR in the diagnosis of adult post-traumatic sepsis, and each study calculated the sensitivities and specificities. Results The study included 8 articles involving 639 trauma patients. combined sensitivity was 0.81 (95% CI, 0.75–0.86), the combined specificity was 0.67 (95% CI, 0.62–0.71), the positive likelihood ratio was 2.29 (95% CI, 1.73–3.04), and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.32 (95% CI, 0.23–0.44). The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.84(95% CI, 0.80–0.87), and the Q index was 0.76. The combined diagnostic odds ratio was 9.11 (95% CI, 5.37–15.45). Conclusions The results of this meta-analysis showed that HLA-DR could be considered as a useful biomarker for the early diagnosis of severe traumatic sepsis. Its sensitivity and diagnostic abilities are excellent. However, its specificity is inadequate. Therefore, it should be combined with other clinical indicators to assess post-traumatic sepsis, and cannot be used in the diagnosis of a disease alone.

Abstract Background Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are a rare but severe complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA). However, the diagnosis of PJI remains difficult. It is one of the research that focuses about diagnosis for PJI for majority researchers to discover a novel biomarker. This meta-analysis tried to evaluate diagnostic value of synovial calprotectin for PJI. Methods This meta-analysis search of the literature was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Literature quality was appraised using Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) based on RevMan (version 5.3). The diagnostic value of calprotectin for PJI was evaluated by calculating sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), diagnostic score and area under SROC (AUC) based on the Stata version 14.0 software. We conduct subgroup analysis according to the study design, cutoff values, the country of study, and gold standard. Results Seven studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity of synovial calprotectin for the diagnosis of PJI was 0.94 (95% CI, 0.87–0.98), and the specificity was 0.93 (95% CI, 0.87–0.96). The pooled AUC, PLR, and NLR for synovial calprotectin were 0.98 (95% CI, 0.96–0.99), 13.65 (95% CI, 6.89–27.07), and 0.06 (95% CI, 0.02–0.15), respectively. The pooled diagnostic score and DOR were 5.4 (95% CI, 3.96–6.85) and 222.32 (95% CI, 52.52–941.12), respectively. Conclusion In summary, this meta-analysis indicates that synovial calprotectin is a promising biomarker of assistant diagnosis for PJI, as well as recommended test for excluding diagnostic tool.

Emerging studies have reported circRNAs were dysregulated in HCC. However, the clinical value of these circRNAs remains to be clarified. Herein, we aimed to comprehensively explore their association with the diagnosis, prognosis, and clinicopathological characteristics of HCC. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were comprehensively searched for eligible studies up to October 30, 2018. The diagnostic effect was evaluated by the pooled sensitivity, specificity, and other indexes. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) for overall survival (OS) and recurrence free survival (RFS) was calculated to assess the prognostic value. Ten studies on diagnosis, 12 on prognosis, and 23 on clinicopathology were identified from the databases. A total of 11 upregulated and 11 downregulated circRNAs showed an association with clinicopathological features of HCC. For the diagnosis analyses, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of circRNAs for HCC were 0.74 (95%CI: 0.65-0.82) and 0.76 (95%CI: 0.70-0.81), 3.1 (95%CI: 2.5-3.8), 0.34 (95%CI: 0.25-0.47), and 9 (95%CI: 6-14), respectively. The area under SROC curve (AUC) was 0.81 (95% CI: 0.78–0.84), indicating moderate diagnostic accuracy. In stratified analyses, the diagnostic performance of circRNAs varied based on the source of control and specimen type. For the prognosis analyses, increased expression of upregulated circRNAs was associated with worse OS (HR: 3.67, 95%: 2.07-6.48), while high expression of downregulated circRNAs was associated with better OS (HR: 0.38, 95%: 0.30-0.48). In conclusion, this study reveals that circRNAs may serve as promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for HCC. However, further investigations are still required to explore the clinical value of circRNAs.

Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of D-dimer for acute aortic dissection (AAD) by the method of meta-analysis. Methods PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases from the establishment of the databases to December 2020 were systematically searched, and the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) system was used to evaluate the quality of the literature. STATA 15.0 software was applied to calculate the pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), positive likelihood ratio (+LR), negative likelihood ratio (−LR) to draw summary receiver operating characteristics (SROC) curve and calculate the area under the curve (AUC). Meta-regression and subgroup analyses were used to explore the source of heterogeneity. Results A total of 16 clinical studies were enrolled in this study, including 1135 patients. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the pooled sensitivity was 0.96 (95% CI 0.91–0.98), the pooled specificity was 0.70 (95% CI 0.57–0.81), and the pooled DOR was 56.57 (95% CI 25.11–127.44), the pooled +LR was 3.25 (95% CI 2.18–4.85), the pooled −LR was 0.06 (95% CI 0.03–0.12), and the AUC was 0.94 (95% CI 0.91–0.95). Meta-regression and subgroup analysis results showed that publication year, sample size and cutoff value might be sources of heterogeneity. When the concentration of D-dimer was less than or equal to 500 ng/ml, the sensitivity significantly increased. Conclusion D-dimer has an excellent diagnostic value for AAD. It is a useful tool for detecting suspected AAD because of the excellent pooled sensitivity. D-dimer ≤ 500 ng/ml increases the potential to identify the suspected patients with AAD.
