Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:Given their diverse phenotypes, mitochondrial diseases (MDs) are often difficult to diagnose. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) represent promising biomarkers for MD diagnosis. Herein we conducted a meta-analysis to compare their diagnostic accuracy for MDs. METHODS:We comprehensively searched PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, the Web of Science, and Cochrane Library up to 1 January 2020. Data were analyzed by two independent reviewers. We obtained the sensitivity and specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios (LR+ and LR-), diagnostic odds ratios (DORs) and summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves of each diagnostic method. RESULTS:Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including 1563 participants (five encompassing 718 FGF-21 assessments; seven encompassing 845 participants for GDF-15) were included. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, DOR and SROC of FGF-21 were 0.71 (95% CI 0.53, 0.84), 0.88(95% CI 0.82, 0.93), 18 (95% CI 6, 54), 0.90 (95% CI 0.87, 0.92), respectively, which were lower than GDF-15 values; 0.83 (95% CI 0.65, 0.92), 0.92 (95% CI 0.84, 0.96), 52 (95% CI 13, 205), 0.94 (95% CI 0.92, 0.96). INTERPRETATION:FGF-21 and GDF-15 showed acceptable sensitivity and high specificity. Of the biomarkers, GDF-15 had the highest diagnostic accuracy.
