Abstract:providing data on the diagnostic accuracy of SL in PHC. Primary outcomes were overall yield and sensitivity to detect unresectable disease. Secondary outcomes were the yield and sensitivity for recent studies (after 2010), large study cohorts (100 patients) and specific lesions. Methodological quality of studies was assessed with the QUADAS-2 tool. Results: From 173 records, 12 studies including 832 patients met the inclusion criteria. The yield of SL in PHC varied from 6.4e45.0% with a pooled yield of 24.4% (… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
