Abstract
Objective
Our aim is to explore the value of intraoperative facial motor evoked potentials (FMEP) for facial outcomes in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumor surgery to provide an evidence-based consensus standard for future clinical practice and prospective studies.
Methods
Electronic databases were searched from inception to June 2023. Study quality was assessed with the QUADAS-2 tool. Bivariate and random-effects models for meta-analysis and meta-regression generated summary receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) and forest plots for estimates of sensitivity and specificity.
Results
We included 17 studies (1,206 participants). Sensitivity was lower in the immediate (IM) post-operative (0.76, 95% CI 0.65–0.84) compared to follow-up (FU) period (0.82, 95% CI 0.74–0.88) while specificity was similar in both groups (IM, 0.94, 95% CI 0.89–0.97; FU, 0.93, 95% CI 0.87–0.96). Data driven estimates improved FMEP performance but require confirmation from future studies. Amplitude cutoff criteria and studies that scored new deficits as worse than House-Brackmann (HB) grade 2 yielded best sensitivities.
Conclusions
FMEP demonstrated statistically significant accuracy for facial function monitoring. Implementation of FMEPs varied widely across studies.
Significance
Our study is the first systematic review with meta-analysis to demonstrate that intraoperative FMEP is valuable in CPA tumor surgery for facial outcomes. Meta-regression identified the methods that were most useful in the application of FMEPs.
期刊介绍:
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
