Meta AnalysisDiagnostic Performance and Accuracy of Strain Elastography for BI-RADS Category 4 Lesions among Asian Females.
This work aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of strain elastography (elasticity score) and its accuracy for breast BI-RADS category 4 lesions. Online databases including Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched for eligible articles published prior to March 10, 2022. The pooled effect indicators including sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios (PLR, NLR), the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were utilised to assess the strain elastography's performance in diagnosing BI-RADS category 4 lesions. ⋯ No significant publication bias was detected. Taken together, strain elastography had suboptimal sensitivity but desirable specificity for the accurate diagnosis of BI-RADS category 4 lesions among Asian females, which can help avoid unnecessary biopsies and reduce patient anxiety. Key Words: BI-RADS category 4 lesions, Strain elastography, Meta-analysis.
