Abstract:
Objective:To identify the prevalence of pulmonary micro nodule (PMN) in osteosarcoma, investigate radiologic features of progressive PMN, and provide evidence for early diagnosis of pulmonary metastasis of osteosarcoma.Methods:Electronic articles published in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library databases between January 1, 2000, and September 1, 2022, were searched and critically evaluated. The authors independently reviewed the abstracts and extracted data on the prevalence of PMN in osteosarcoma and radiologic features of progressive PMN. Seven high quality studies were finally included in the meta-analysis with evidence level III.Results:The pooled prevalence of PMN in osteosarcoma was 36.0%, 95% CI (14.6%, 57.3%). The pooled progressive rate of PMN was 52.5%, 95% CI (37.7%, 67.2%). As for a specific PMN, it was more likely to progress which had a larger Dmax, HR=2.40, 95% CI (1.06, 5.42), P=0.035. No significant difference was found in number, component, and border. Conclusion:PMN is quite common in patients with osteosarcoma. About half of the patients suffered the progression of PMN, and it is related to several risk factors.
