Table 1. Diagnostic accuracy of anti-MDA5 antibodies for DM/classic DM/CADM in a stratified analysis according to detection method.
Disease type | Method | Pooled sensitivity(95% CI) | Pooled specificity(95% CI) | AUC |
---|---|---|---|---|
DM | ELISA | 0.18 (0.14–0.23) | 1.00 (0.97–1.00) | 0.8589 |
DM | Immunoprecipitation | 0.17 (0.13–0.22) | 1.00 (0.96–1.00) | 0.8121 |
Classic DM | ELISA | 0.13 (0.08–0.19) | 1.00 (0.96–1.00) | 0.8167 |
CADM | ELISA | 0.46 (0.38–0.56) | 1.00 (0.97–1.00) | 0.9301 |
CADM | Immunoprecipitation | 0.62 (0.52–0.70) | 1.00 (0.97–1.00) | 0.9381 |
Abbreviations: DM = dermatomyositis; CADM = clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis; ELISA = enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; CI = confidence interval; AUC = area under the curve of the summary receiver operating characteristic.
