Diagnostic accuracy of novel folate receptor-mediated staining solution detection (FRD) for CIN2+: A systematic review and meta analysis.

Early detection and diagnosis of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher (CIN2+) is critical for a good prognosis and appropriate treatment. The chief aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of folate receptor-mediated staining solution detection (FRD) for CIN2+. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching the PubMed and EMBASE databases for studies published until May 2020, which assessed the diagnostic accuracy of FRD, human papilloma virus (HPV) testing, and ThinPrep cytology test (TCT) for the detection of CIN2+. Bivariate models were used to compare the diagnostic performance of FRD, HPV, and TCT. Six studies involving 2817 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled specificity of FRD was higher than that of HPV and TCT for detecting CIN2+ (0.65, 0.12, and 0.39, respectively). The summary area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values using FRD, HPV, and TCT for detecting CIN2+ were 0.79, 0.95, and 0.77, respectively, indicating that FRD was superior to TCT. The diagnostic odds ratios of FRD, HPV, and TCT were 6 (95% CI: 5-7), 3 (95% CI: 2-5), and 3 (95% CI: 2-4), respectively, demonstrating that FRD had good diagnostic accuracy. FRD showed good diagnostic accuracy and higher specificity than HPV and TCT for detecting CIN2+. Based on our results, we propose that FRD could be a candidate for cervical screening, especially in underdeveloped countries. Copyright © 2021 the Author(s).
