ObjectiveTo summarize the overall diagnostic accuracy of serum proteomic assay for pulmonary tuberculosis through a Meta-analysis.MethodsStudies regarding the diagnostic utility of serum proteomic assay for pulmonary tuberculosis were searched in Scopus, PubMed, Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and CQVIP. The methodical quality was evaluated by Quality Assessment for Studies of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive/negative likelihood ratios, and diagnostic odds ratio were calculated. Summary receiver operating characteristic curve was generated and the area under the curve was calculated.ResultsThere were 10 articles with 2 433 patients included in this study, containing 1 191 cases and 1 242 controls. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive/negative likehood ratios, and diagnostic odds ratio were 0.86, 0.88, 6.72, 0.17, and 46.84, respectively. The area under the curve was 0.93.ConclusionSerum proteomic assay plays a role in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis, and proteomic assay represents a novel and useful method for diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis.
