Diagnostic value of the antiglycoprotein-2 antibody for Crohn's disease: a PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the antiglycoprotein-2 (GP2) antibody for Crohn's disease (CD).

Methods

Three databases (EMBASE, ISI Web of Knowledge and PubMed) were systematically searched. There were 17 eligible studies included in the meta-analysis. A total of 2439 patients with CD and 3184 controls were involved in these studies. STATA V.11.2 and Meta-DiSc V.1.4 were used to perform the meta-analysis.

Results

The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.68-0.72. The pooled diagnostic sensitivity of the anti-GP2 antibody ranged from 14% to 24%, and the specificity was 96%-98%.

Conclusions

The anti-GP2 antibody is a specific biomarker for CD, and further exploration of its prevalence
