Our protocol was registered with International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO-CRD42021261915). Systematic searches were last performed on April 30, 2024, in EMBASE, PubMed, Web-of-Science, Scopus, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature databases. Inclusion criteria were (1) studies reporting diagnostic metrics of CBCT for ICH and (2) studies using a reference standard to determine ICH. Exclusion criteria were (1) case reports, abstracts, reviews and (2) studies without patient-level data. Pooled estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for diagnostic odds ratios (DORs), sensitivity, and specificity using random-effects and common-effects models. Mixed methods appraisal tool was used to evaluate risk of bias.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Seven studies were included in the meta-analysis yielding 466 patients. Mean or median age ranged from 54 to 75 years. Female patients represented 51.4% (222 of 432) in reported studies. Multidetector CT was the reference standard in all studies. DOR, pooled sensitivity, and pooled specificity for ICH were 5.28 (95% CI: 4.11-6.46), 0.88 (95% CI: 0.79-0.97), and 0.99 (95% CI: 0.98-1.0). Pooled sensitivity for IPH, SAH, and IVH was 0.98 (95% CI: 0.95-1.0), 0.82 (95% CI: 0.57-1.0), and 0.78 (95% CI: 0.55-1.0). Pooled specificity for IPH, SAH, and IVH was 0.99 (95% CI: 0.98-1.0), 0.99 (95% CI: 0.97-1.0), and 1.0 (95% CI: 0.98-1.0).</div></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><div>CBCT had moderate DOR and high pooled specificity for ICH and hemorrhage types.
