ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients.

METHODS:

PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang, Chinese Biological Medicine databases, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System were searched for relevant studies to explore the potential diagnostic performance of ARFI in AP from inception to November 2023. STATA 14.0 was used to analyze the standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI), pooled sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve, meta-regression analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias.

RESULTS:

Nine studies, involving 533 AP patients and 585 healthy controls, were included. AP patients had significantly higher ARFI levels than healthy controls (SMD 3.13, 95% CI 1.88-4.39, P = .001). The area under the curve of ARFI for diagnosing AP was 0.99 (95% CI 0.98-1.00), with 98% sensitivity and 94% specificity. Meta-regression identified the study region and study period as the sources of heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis showed that the exclusion of any single study did not materially alter the overall combined effect. No evidence of publication bias was observed in the included studies.

CONCLUSION:

This meta-analysis demonstrated that ARFI exerted satisfactory diagnostic performance in AP.
