BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Gastric cancer (GC) is associated with a significant global health burden and high mortality rates when diagnosed at later stages. The diagnosis often occurs at advanced stages when treatment options are limited and less effective. Early detection strategies are crucial to improving survival rates and outcomes for patients. Blue laser imaging (BLI) is an image-enhanced endoscopy technique that utilizes white light and narrow-band light to detect pathological changes in the mucosal architecture. This study aims at investigating the diagnostic performance of BLI for the detection of GC.
METHODS METHODS
A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases from inception until March 2023. Studies assessing the diagnostic efficacy of BLI for GC detection were included. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of BLI were calculated using pooled proportions and 95% confidence intervals (CI) with a random-effects model. Heterogeneity among the included studies was assessed using the I
RESULTS RESULTS
Six studies were included in the pooled analysis. There were 708 patients with 380 GC lesions. Most of the lesions involved the lower two-thirds of the stomach. The pooled performance metrics of BLI for GC detection were as follows: sensitivity of 91.9% (95% CI 83.3-96.3%; I
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
BLI demonstrates high diagnostic efficacy for the detection of GC. BLI can be a valuable tool in clinical practice. However, large-scale, randomized controlled studies are needed to further establish the role of BLI in routine clinical practice for GC detection.
