Article Synopsis
  • Ovarian torsion (OT) is a rare but critical gynecological emergency that requires quick diagnosis and management, leading researchers to explore non-invasive biomarkers for detection.
  • A systematic review of literature from five databases examined studies on biomarkers related to OT, resulting in the inclusion of 23 articles that reported on both animal and human research.
  • Key biomarkers identified included ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), serum D-dimer (s-DD), and interleukin-6 (IL-6), with specificities reaching 93.3% and sensitivities ranging from 16.4% to 92.3%, indicating their potential for early identification of OT in patients.
