ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIM:
This study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the performance of the Asia-Pacific Colorectal Screening (APCS) score and its incorporation with the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in stratifying the risk of advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACN).METHODS:
We systematically searched for relevant articles in 12 electronic databases and registers on October 20, 2021, and updated the search to September 1, 2023. Random-effect models were used to obtain the pooled performance statistics of the APCS score for ACN risk.RESULTS:
From the 101 records screened, 13 eligible studies in the Asia-Pacific region involving 69 762 subjects who had undergone colonoscopy were enrolled. The pooled prevalences of ACN in the average-risk (AR) tier (APCS 0-1), moderate-risk (MR) tier (APCS 2-3), and high-risk (HR) tier (APCS ≥ 4) groups were 0.9%, 3.1%, and 8.1%, respectively. Compared with the combined AR-MR group, the HR group was significantly associated with a higher ACN risk (pooled diagnostic odds ratio 2.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.35-3.45, P < 0.001). The APCS score showed a sensitivity of 0.42 (95% CI 0.40-0.44) and a specificity of 0.86 (95% CI 0.85-0.86) for predicting the ACN risk, with a weighted area under the curve of 0.642 (95% CI 0.610-0.657). The combination of the APCS score and FIT substantially improved ACN risk identification, demonstrating pooled diagnostic odds ratios of 4.02 (95% CI 2.50-6.49) in the AR-MR groups and 5.44 (95% CI 1.89-15.63) in the MR-HR groups.CONCLUSIONS:
The APCS score could effectively stratify the ACN risk in the Asia-Pacific population. Incorporating FIT further improves its performance in identifying high-risk subjects who should be prioritized for colonoscopy screenings.Palabras clave
