Diagnostic Performance of KLCA-NCC 2018 Criteria for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Several imaging-based systems have been proposed for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), reflecting geographical differences in the clinical environment for HCC. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the performance of the Korean Liver Cancer Association-National Cancer Center (KLCA-NCC) 2018 criteria for the MRI diagnosis of HCC. Original studies reporting the performance of the KLCA-NCC 2018 criteria for the diagnosis of HCC using MRI were identified in MEDLINE and EMBASE until 29 March 2021. The meta-analytic pooled sensitivity and specificity of the KLCA-NCC 2018 criteria for diagnosing HCC were calculated using a bivariate random-effects model. A meta-regression analysis was performed to explore study hetero
