Diagnostic value of multiple diagnostic methods for lymph node metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis

ObjectiveThis study compared the diagnostic value of various diagnostic methods for lymph node metastasis (LNM) of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) through network meta-analysis.MethodsIn this experiment, databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, and Web of Science were retrieved according to the Co...

description ObjectiveThis study compared the diagnostic value of various diagnostic methods for lymph node metastasis (LNM) of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) through network meta-analysis.MethodsIn this experiment, databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, and Web of Science were retrieved according to the Cochrane database, Prisma, and NMAP command manual. A meta-analysis was performed using STATA 15.0, and the value of the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) was used to determine the most effective diagnostic method. Quality assessments were performed using the Cochrane Collaboration’s risk of bias tool, and publication bias was assessed using Deeks’ funnel plot.ResultsA total of 38 articles with a total of 6285 patients were included. A total of 12 diagnostic methods were used to study patients with LNM of PTC. The results showed that 12 studies were direct comparisons and 8 studies were indirect comparisons. According to the comprehensive analysis of the area of SUCRA, US+CT(86.8) had the highest sensitivity, FNAC had the highest specificity (92.4) and true positive predictive value (89.4), and FNAC+FNA-Tg had higher negative predictive value (99.4) and accuracy (86.8). In the non-invasive method, US+CT had the highest sensitivity, and the sensitivity (SEN) was [OR=0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI): (0.30, 0.89]. Among the invasive methods, the combined application of FNAC+FNA-Tg had higher diagnostic performance. The sensitivity was [OR=0.62, 95% CI: (0.26, 0.98)], the specificity (SPE) was [OR=1.12, 95% CI: (0.59, 1.64)], the positive predictive value was [OR=0.98, 95% CI: (0.59, 1.37)], the negative predictive value was [OR=0.64, 95% CI (0.38, 0.90)], and the accuracy was [OR=0.71, 95% CI: (0.31, 1.12)].ConclusionIn the non-invasive method, the combined application of US+CT had good diagnostic performance, and in the invasive method, the combined application of FNAC+FNA-Tg had high diagnostic performance, and the above two methods were recommended.
