Résumé
The distress thermometer (DT) is a commonly used tool for screening distress in Asian patients with cancer. However, the optimal cut-off score and discriminative accuracy remain unclear. Hence, this meta-analysis aimed to examine its diagnostic value and optimal cut-off score in Asia. A systematic search was conducted in the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and diagnostic odds ratio were calculated. The area under the curve (AUC) was computed from the summary receiver-operating characteristic (SROC) curve. All analyses were performed using STATA 12.0 software. Finally, 10 studies describing 2851 patients were included. After pooling all the results from the 10 studies, the optimal DT cut-off score was 4 with a pooled sensitivity of 0.78 (95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.68-0.86), specificity of 0.73 (95% CI 0.65-0.80) and AUC of 0.82 (95% CI 0.78-0.85). When the DT was compared to the hospital anxiety and depression scale-total (HADS-T), the cut-off score of 4 showed the best balance between the pooled sensitivity (0.81, 95% CI 0.69-0.89) and specificity (0.74, 95% CI 0.59-0.84), and the AUC was 0.84 (95% CI 0.81-0.87). In conclusion, the DT with a cut-off score of 4 was an effective screening tool in Asian patients with cancer.
