What is Prediction of high-risk esophageal varices in patients with chronic liver disease with point and 2D shear wave elastography: a systematic review and meta-analysis about?

Objective To assess the diagnostic performance of liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) measured by point shear wave elastography (pSWE) and 2D shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) in the detection of high-risk esophageal varices (HREV) and to compare their diagnostic accuracy. Methods Through systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases, we included 17 articles reporting the diagnostic performance of LS or SS measured by pSWE or 2D-SWE for HREV. We used a bivariate random-effects model to estimate pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), area under summary receiver operator characteristic curve (AUSROC), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR). Results For LS, there was no significant difference between the pooled sensitivity, 0.89 (95% confidence interval CI, 0.81-0.94) vs. 0.8 (95% CI, 0.72-0.86) (p = 0.13), and specificity, 0.81 (95% CI, 0.73-0.87) vs. 0.73 (95% CI, 0.65-0.79) (p = 0.07) of pSWE and 2D-SWE. The AUSROC and DOR of pSWE were higher than those of 2D-SWE: 0.92 (95% CI, 0.89-0.94) vs. 0.84 (95% CI, 0.80-0.87), p = 0.03, 33 (95% CI, 25-61) vs. 11 (95% CI, 5-22), (p < 0.01). For SS, there was n
