Lateral-flow device for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis: a systematic review and diagnostic meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA) can significantly enhance patient survival rates; however, accurately diagnosing IA remains a formidable challenge. Lateral flow device (LFD), as a non-invasive detection method, have been extensively investigated in numerous clinical studies. The objective of this study was to elucidate the diagnostic accuracy of LFD in detecting IA through a meta-analysis.

Methods

The PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science database were searched to obtain clinical studies on the diagnosis of IA by LFD. A random-effects meta-analysis with a bivariate hierarchical model was used, the estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to present pooled sensitivity, specificity, and summary receiver operating characteristic curves (SROC)
