Background:
The present meta-analysis examined the diagnostic accuracy of T2 Candida for candidiasis.
Methods:
The literature databases, such as PubMed, Embase, DVIO, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and CNKI, were searched on T2 Candida detection.
Results:
A total of 8 articles, comprising of 2717 research subjects, were included in the study. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.91 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.88-0.94) and 0.94 95% CI: 0.93-0.95), respectively. The pooled positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio was 10.16 (95% CI: 2.75-37.50) and 0.08 (95% CI: 0.02-0.35), respectively. The combined diagnostic odds ratio is 133.65 95% CI: 17.21-1037.73), and the AUC of SROC is 0.9702 [(SE = 0.0235), Q* = 0.9201(SE = 0.0381)].
Conclusions:
The current evidence supported that T2 Candida has high accuracy and sensitivity and is of major clinical significance in the diagnosis of Candida infection.
