背景:髋关节和/或膝关节置换术后早期准确检测假体周围感染(PJI)仍然具有挑战性。本系统综述和荟萃分析诊断测试准确性研究旨在评估血清和滑液白细胞介素(IL)-6检测PJI的诊断准确性。
方法:我们使用医学副标题术语和关键词搜索了3个数据库,以查找到2021年12月31日的研究。研究报道血清和滑液IL-6检测PJI的敏感性和特异性。我们计算了合并的灵敏度,特异性,正负似然比,诊断优势比(DOR),和汇总接受者工作特征曲线下面积(AUC)以评估血清和滑液IL-6的诊断准确性。
结果:共纳入30项研究。汇集的敏感性,特异性,正负似然比,DOR,血清IL-6检测PJI的AUC为0.76(0.69-0.81),0.88(0.82-0.92),6.2(4.3-9.0),0.28(0.22-0.35),22(14-36)和0.88(0.85-0.91),分别。然而,滑液IL-6达到0.87(0.75-0.93)的合并敏感性,特异性为0.90(0.85-0.93),正负似然比为8.5(5.3-13.6)和0.15(0.08-0.29),57(21-156)的DOR,和AUC为0.94(0.92-0.96),均高于血清IL-6。
结论:滑液IL-6测试可能是髋关节和/或膝关节置换术后PJI的一个有希望的测试。然而,考虑到滑液体积有限,侵入性获取滑液IL-6,血清IL-6试验也可以考虑。
BACKGROUND: Early and accurate detection of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after hip and/or knee arthroplasty remains challenging. This systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of serum and synovial fluid interleukin (IL)-6 in detecting PJI.
METHODS: We searched 3 databases for studies through December 31, 2021, using medical sub-headings terms and keywords. Studies reported sensitivity and specificity of serum and synovial fluid IL-6 in detecting PJI were considered. We calculated the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of serum and synovial fluid IL-6.
RESULTS: Thirty studies were included. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratio, DOR, and AUC of serum IL-6 in detecting PJI were 0.76 (0.69-0.81), 0.88 (0.82-0.92), 6.2 (4.3-9.0), 0.28 (0.22-0.35), 22 (14-36), and 0.88 (0.85-0.91), respectively. However, synovial fluid IL-6 achieved a pooled sensitivity of 0.87 (0.75-0.93), specificity of 0.90 (0.85-0.93), positive and negative likelihood ratio of 8.5 (5.3-13.6) and 0.15 (0.08-0.29), DOR of 57 (21-156), and AUC of 0.94 (0.92-0.96), which were higher than serum IL-6.
CONCLUSIONS: Synovial fluid IL-6 test may be a promising test for PJI after hip and/or knee arthroplasty. However, considering the limited volume of synovial fluid and invasive acquisition of synovial fluid IL-6, serum IL-6 test may be also considered.
