Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum α-L-fucosidase (AFU)in primary hepatic carcinoma(PHC)by using the meta analysis method.Methods The databases of Cochrane Library,PubMed,web of knowledge(Medline,BIOSIS Pre-views),Springer link and Science Direct were retrieved from January 1997 to December 2013.The domestic databases of CBMdisc (Chinese BioMedical Literature on disc),CNKI,Wangfang and VIP(VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals)were retrieved from January 1984 to December 2013.Retrieval languages were limited to Chinese and English.The related literatures on the study of serum AFU diagnostic value for PHC were collected and the included studies meeting the inclusion criteria were performed the quality assessment.The meta-Disc 1 .4 software was adopted to conduct the analysis for comprehensively evaluating serum AFU value in the diagnosis of PHC.Results 20 articles were included (15 articles in Chinese and 5 articles in English).A total of 2 114 cases in the patients groups and 5 718 cases in the control groups were analyzed.The heterogeneity test was carried out on the in-cluded 20 articles,suggesting that the heterogeneity of the included studies was caused by the non-threshold effect,so the random effects model was selected for conducting the meta-analysis.And the pooled sensitivity was 0.77,the pooled specificity was 0.87, the pooled positive likelihood ratio was 5.37,the pooled negative likelihood ratio was 0.28,the pooled diagnostic odds ratio was 20. 47 and the SROC area under the curve(AUC)was 0.87.Conclusion Serum AFU has highly sensitivity and specificity for the diag-nosis of PHC and has reference value for its clinical diagnosis.
