Objective: To investigate the accuracy of miRNA in the diagnosis of patients with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled trials. Setting: Not applicable. Patient(s): Individuals with PCOS and control. Intervention(s): Summary sensitivity and specificity and positive and negative likelihood ratios (LRs) a random effects model were employed. Main Outcome Measure(s): Accuracy of miRNAs as diagnostic indicators. Result(s): The analysis showed that miRNA significantly increased the accuracy of the diagnosis of PCOS, which included 9 articles with 1303 patients. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of miRNAs in the diagnosis of PCOS were 0.73 and 0.81, respectively. Multiple RNAs as biomarkers in qRT-PCR (SYBR) method showed higher sensitivity when compared to a single RNA and the Area Under Curve (AUC) was up to 0.88. Conclusions: MiRNAs may increase the accuracy of diagnosis and short the time required for diagnosis. Multiple miRNAs in SYBR method have good discriminating ability as biomarker for diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
