Purpose: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant studies to assess the diagnostic accuracy and safety outcomes of ultrasound (US)-guided transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) for peripheral lung and pleural lesions.
Materials And Methods: A search was performed through Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central from inception up to September 23, 2022 for diagnostic accuracy studies reporting US-guided TTNB (Prospero registration: CRD42021225168). The primary outcome was diagnostic accuracy, which was assessed by sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios (LR), and diagnostic odds ratio.
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative laparoscopic imaging tools in reference to that of histopathology for detecting endometriotic lesions and to compare them with conventional white-light inspection by performing a systematic review with meta-analysis.
Data Sources: We searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL databases in addition to citations and reference lists until the end of February 2019.
Methods Of Study Selection: Two authors screened 1038 citations for eligibility.
