ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the study quality and clinical value of radiomics studies on chondrosarcoma.METHODS:
PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Data were searched for articles on radiomics for evaluating chondrosarcoma as of January 31, 2022. The study quality was assessed according to Radiomics Quality Score (RQS), Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis Or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) checklist, Image Biomarker Standardization Initiative (IBSI) guideline, and modified Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool. The level of evidence supporting clinical use of radiomics on chondrosarcoma differential diagnosis was determined based on meta-analyses.RESULTS:
Twelve articles were included. The median RQS was 10.5 (range, -3 to 15), with an adherence rate of 36%. The adherence rate was extremely low in domains of high-level evidence (0%), open science and data (17%), and imaging and segmentation (35%). The adherence rate of the TRIPOD checklist was 61%, and low for section of title and abstract (13%), introduction (42%), and results (56%). The reporting rate of pre-processing steps according to the IBSI guideline was 60%. The risk of bias and concern of application were mainly related to the index test. The meta-analysis on differential diagnosis of enchondromas vs. chondrosarcomas showed a diagnostic odds ratio of 43.90 (95% confidential interval, 25.33-76.10), which was rated as weak evidence.CONCLUSIONS:
The current scientific and reporting quality of radiomics studies on chondrosarcoma was insufficient. Radiomics has potential in facilitating the optimization of operation decision-making in chondrosarcoma. KEY POINTS ⢠Among radiomics studies on chondrosarcoma, although differential diagnostic models showed promising performance, only pieces of weak level of evidence were reached with insufficient study quality. ⢠Since the RQS rating, the TRIPOD checklist, and the IBSI guideline have largely overlapped with each other, it is necessary to establish one widely acceptable methodological and reporting guideline for radiomics research. ⢠The TRIPOD model typing, the phase classification of image mining studies, and the level of evidence category are useful tools to assess the gap between academic research and clinical application, although their modifications for radiomics studies are needed.Palabras clave
