RESUMO
Objective:A meta-analysis was use to systematically assess the diagnostic value of Septin-9 in Colorectal cancer. Methods:Literature fulfilling the criteria was searched in PubMed, Foreign Medical Journals Platform, Ovid, CNKI, CBM, WanFang and VIP Databases from inception to Jan. 2017. Literatures were strictly screened according to the inclusion and exclusion cri-teria. Study quality was assessed in terms of the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies ( QUADAS) checklist. A bivariate Meta-analysis model was employed to assess the pooled accuracy,and study heterogeneity was evaluated via Cochran-Q and I2 tests;subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were conducted to deeply trace the sources of heterogeneity;publication bias was judged by Deek′s funnel plot. Results:A total of 11 studies were included. Analysis of methylated Septin-9 achieved a pooled sensitivity of 0. 70 (95%CI:0. 67-0. 72),specificity of 0. 91 (95%CI:0. 90-0. 92),and DOR of 28. 76(95%CI:17. 70-46. 75),corresponding to an AUC of 0. 9221. Heterogeneity test suggested that there was obvious heterogeneity from non-threshold effect. Sensitivity analysis identified one outlier study. Subgroup analysis results showed that the AUC of 1/3 positive to 2/3 positive group was 0. 9397 versus 0. 8265,and the AUC of the Asian population group to the Caucasian population group was 0. 9368 versus 0. 9210. Funnel plot ( Deek′s) revealed no publication bias. Conclusion:Our data indicate that circulating methylated Septin-9 seemed to harbor a relatively high accuracy in conforming colorectal cancer,and might be popularized as a routine biomarker for colorectal cancer detection.
