Diagnostic performance of standardized typical CT findings for COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To meta-analyze diagnostic performance measures of standardized typical CT findings for COVID-19 and examine these measures by region and national income.

Methods

MEDLINE and Embase were searched from January 2020 to April 2022 for diagnostic studies using the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) classification or the COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS) for COVID-19. Patient and study characteristics were extracted. We pooled the diagnostic performance of typical CT findings in the RSNA and CO-RADS systems and interobserver agreement. Meta-regression was performed to examine the effect of potential explanatory factors on the diagnostic performance of the typical CT findings.

Results

We included 42 diagnostic performance studies with 6777 PCR
