ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Abstract

Background:

In recent years, more and more studies have shown that microRNA-29a (miRNA-29a) can be used as a potential biomarker for active tuberculosis, but the results of these studies are not consistent.

Objective:

To comprehensively evaluate the value of miRNA-29a in the diagnosis of active tuberculosis by meta-analysis.

Methods:

The databases of CNKI, WanFang, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science and EMBASE were searched for relevant studies. Studies were screened strictly according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. QUA-DAS-2 scale was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. Data were extracted and analyzed by Meta-DiSc 1.4 and Stata 16.0 software.

Results:

13 articles were included, including a total of 1598 subjects, including 872 active tuberculosis patients and 726 controls. The combined sensitivity and specificity of miRNA-29a in the diagnosis of active tuberculosis were 78 % and 76 %, respectively, and the area under the overall summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.8564.
