Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate parathyroid gland (PG) identification is crucial for thyroid and parathyroid surgery.
  • Near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) is a developing non-invasive technique for intraoperative PG detection.
  • Two FDA-approved NIRAF modalities, image-based and probe-based, are available.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a meta-analysis evaluating the efficacy of image-based versus probe-based NIRAF modalities.
  • To compare the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the two NIRAF methods.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of PubMed, Scopus, and MEDLINE databases (January 2000 - February 2023).
  • Inclusion criteria: studies on "parathyroid autofluorescence" in English, reporting results in the main body.
  • Exclusion criteria: reviews, case reports, animal/in vitro studies, contrast-enhanced fluorescence, indocyanine green use.

Main Results:

  • Five studies met the inclusion criteria.
  • Estimated overall accuracy for image-based NIRAF: 0.96 (95% CI: 0.87-0.99).
  • Estimated overall accuracy for probe-based NIRAF: 0.93 (95% CI: 0.92-0.94).
  • No statistically significant difference in accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity between the two modalities (p=0.36).

Conclusions:

  • Both image-based and probe-based NIRAF are effective non-invasive tools for intraoperative parathyroid gland identification.
  • Current evidence suggests comparable clinical performance between the two NIRAF modalities.
  • Further comparative studies are warranted to elucidate potential differences in clinical utility.
