Diagnosis of asthmatic pneumonia in children by lung ultrasound vs. chest X-ray: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
INTRODUCTION: Chest X-ray (CXR) is used as the standard diagnostic method in lung diseases, especially in pneumonia, but unfortunately, despite the high risk of receiving radiation, it also has a high false negative rate. Therefore, some researchers recommend ultrasound to diagnose pneumonia. AIM: T...

description | INTRODUCTION: Chest X-ray (CXR) is used as the standard diagnostic method in lung diseases, especially in pneumonia, but unfortunately, despite the high risk of receiving radiation, it also has a high false negative rate. Therefore, some researchers recommend ultrasound to diagnose pneumonia. AIM: To investigate the accuracy of lung ultrasound compared to CXR for the diagnosis of pneumonia children by meta-analysis method. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Original articles which evaluated accuracy of lung ultrasound compared to chest X-ray for the diagnosis of pneumonia in children, published between 1 January 2010 and 20 March 2021, were identified in the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases. Data synthesis and statistical analysis were carried out using STATA software. Odds ratios with 95% confidence interval (CI), fixed effect model and mean difference with 95% CI, random effect model (REM) were calculated. RESULTS: At the first step, 1016 potentially important research abstracts and titles were discovered in our electronic searches, 8 papers were in agreement with our inclusion criteria. The statistical analysis showed sensitivity of 95.5% (95% CI: 93.6–97.1%) and specificity of 96.3% (95% CI: 92.1–98.4%) for the lung ultrasound, and CXR sensitivity and specificity were 87.4% (95% CI: 84.3–90.0%) and 98.6% (95% CI: 95.8–99.6%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that ultrasound can be useful in diagnosing pneumonia in children, and due to the lack of risk of receiving radiation, this method is even more preferred. |
