ABSTRACT
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a potentially reliable assistant in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. This meta-analysis aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the AI-based systems using medical images. We searched PubMed and Web of Science from inception to June 15, 2020, for eligible articles that applied AI approaches to diagnosing osteoporosis using medical images. Quality and bias of the included studies were evaluated with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool. The main outcome was the sensitivity and specificity of the performance of the AI-based systems. The data analysis utilized the R Foundation packages of "meta" for univariate analysis and Stata for bivariate analysis. Random effects model was utilized. Seven studies with 3186 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The overall risk of bias of the included studies was assessed as low. The pooled sensitivity was 0.96 (95% CI 0.93-1.00), and the pooled specificity was 0.95 (95% CI 0.91-0.99). However, high heterogeneity was found in this meta-analysis. The results supported that the AI-based systems had good accuracy in diagnosing osteoporosis. However, the high risk of bias in patient selection and high heterogeneity in the meta-analysis made the conclusion less convincing. The application of AI-based systems in osteoporosis diagnosis needs to be further confirmed by more prospective studies in multi-centers including more random samples from complete patient types.
