Abstract
Objective
The diagnostic capability of hyperspectral (HSI) imaging has been focused on the prognosis of wound healing in patients with peripheral artery disease and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance characteristics of HSI to determine the pretest probability for the prognosis of DFU healing.
Methods
A systematic search was performed on the PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane databases to identify studies evaluating HSI in predicting the prognosis of DFUs. This study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023495391). All selected studies were evaluated using the STROBE guidelines to assess the reporting quality for observational studies. Meta-DiSc software was used to analyze the collected data.
Results
Nine publications (142 participants) were evaluated for systematic review. The meta-analysis included four publications examining the prospective diagnostic capability of HSI. Concerning the prognostic accuracy of HSI, it had a pooled sensitivity of 0.84 (0.75–0.9) and a specificity of 0.79 (0.66–0.88) for predicting DFU healing, as well as an odds ratio of 20.4, resulting in a positive likelihood ratio of 4.1 and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.2 (heterogeneity I2 = 0).
Conclusions
The meta-analysis revealed promising prognostic capability of HSI for the healing of DFU. More randomized clinical trials need to be published as our results are based on only prospective and comparative studies.
期刊介绍:
The journal features original contributions that are the result of investigations contributing significant new information relating to the vascular and lymphatic microcirculation addressed at the intact animal, organ, cellular, or molecular level. Papers describe applications of the methods of physiology, biophysics, bioengineering, genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology to problems in microcirculation.
Microcirculation also publishes state-of-the-art reviews that address frontier areas or new advances in technology in the fields of microcirculatory disease and function. Specific areas of interest include: Angiogenesis, growth and remodeling; Transport and exchange of gasses and solutes; Rheology and biorheology; Endothelial cell biology and metabolism; Interactions between endothelium, smooth muscle, parenchymal cells, leukocytes and platelets; Regulation of vasomotor tone; and Microvascular structures, imaging and morphometry. Papers also describe innovations in experimental techniques and instrumentation for studying all aspects of microcirculatory structure and function.
