The diagnostic value of quantitative assessment of MR neurography in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of quantitative magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). We also compared various MRN parameters and determined the best performing one.

Methods

Through literature searches in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Ovid MEDLINE and ClinicalTtrials.gov until March 1, 2023, we selected studies with the diagnostic performance of MRN in CIDP patients. The pooled estimated sensitivity and specificity of quantitative MRN parameters were determined by a bivariate random-effects model. Subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate the proper quantitative parameters and nerve sites.

Results

A total of 14 quantitative MRN studies with 23 results gave a poo
