Objective  To evaluate the diagnostic value of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) for sepsis.
Methods  Such databases as The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2012), PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were searched to collect the diagnostic tests on sTREM-1 for sepsis published before April 2012. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and assessed the methodological quality. Then, Meta-Disc software (Version 1.5) was used to conduct analyses, draw the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve, and calculate the area under curve and Q index.
Results  A total of 11 studies involving 1 615 patients were included. The value of sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio, area under of SROC curve, and Q index were 69%, 71%, 3.7, 0.34, 14.73, 0.875, and 0.805, respectively.
Conclusion  This meta-analysis shows that sTREM-1 as a single indicator has moderate accuracy for early diagnosing sepsis. It should be combined with other diagnostic indicators to further improve the sensitivity and accuracy in diagnosing sepsis.
