Delayed post gadolinium MRI descriptors for Meniere's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Delayed post-gadolinium magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detects changes of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) within the inner ear in Meniere's disease (MD). A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted to summarise the diagnostic performance of MRI descriptors across the range of MD clinical classifications.

Materials and methods

Case-controlled studies documenting the diagnostic performance of MRI descriptors in distinguishing MD ears from asymptomatic ears or ears with other audio-vestibular conditions were identified (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus databases: updated 17/2/2022). Methodological quality was evaluated with Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies version 2. Results were pooled using a bivariate random-effects model for evaluati
