MMP-9 as a clinical marker for endometriosis: a meta-analysis and bioinformatics analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study systematically evaluated the potential efficacy of serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) concentration as a diagnostic marker for endometriosis through meta-analysis. Early and accurate diagnosis of endometriosis, a common gynecological disease, is crucial for improving patient prognosis. Hence, this study aimed to comprehensively analyze the data from multiple studies to assess the diagnostic value of serum MMP-9 concentration for endometriosis.

Methods

Articles investigating the association between MMP-9 and endometriosis, published from the inception of the databases until February 2024, were systematically retrieved from multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, Scopus, and CNKI. Download and analyze the GSE7305, GSE23339,
