Table 4. Meta-Analytic Pooled Sensitivity and Specificity of Studies Using or Not Using the LI-RADS Diagnostic Imaging Criteria for Hpatocellular Crcinoma.
| No. of Studies | Pooled Sensitivity, % (95% CI) | I2 Statistics, % | Pooled Specificity, % (95% CI) | I2 Statistics, % | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LI-RADS v2013 | 2 | 50.0 (19.7, 80.3) | NA* | 96.0 (92.5, 100.0) | NA* |
| LI-RADS v2014 | 13 | 61.9 (49.4, 73.0) | 96.0 | 92.9 (89.0, 95.4) | 81.2 |
| LI-RADS v2017 | 9 | 67.0 (62.7, 71.0) | 66.8 | 93.1 (90.0, 95.3) | 48.9 |
| LI-RADS v2018 | 10 | 77.7 (71.0, 83.3) | 86.7 | 89.9 (86.3, 92.5) | 53.2 |
| Studies that did not use the LI-RADS diagnostic imaging criteria | 69 | 86.3 (83.0, 89.0) | 94.3 | 91.4 (88.9, 93.5) | 86.6 |
*I2 statistics could not be calculated due to the small number of studies using LI-RADS v2013. CI = confidence interval, LI-RADS = Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System, NA = not available
