Performance of resistive index and semi-quantitative power doppler ultrasound score in predicting acute kidney injury: A meta-analysis of prospective studies.


ABSTRACT: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of the renal resistive index (RRI) and power Doppler ultrasound (PDU) on subsequent acute kidney injury (AKI) risk using a meta-analytic approach. We searched eligible studies in PubMed, EmBase, and the Cochrane library from inception until August 2021. The parameters included the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios (PLR and NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC). Twenty-three prospective studies involving 2,400 patients were selected. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of the RRI and PDU were 0.76 and 0.79, and 0.64 and 0.90, respectively. The pooled PLR and NLR were 3.64 and 0.31, and 6.58 and 0.40 for the RRI and PDU, respectively. The DORs of the RRI and PDU for predicting AKI were 11.76, and 16.32, respectively. The AUCs of the RRI and PDU for predicting AKI were 0.83, and 0.86, respectively. There were no significant differences between the RRI and PDU for predicting AKI in terms of sensitivity, PLR, NLR, DOR, and AUC. The specificity of the RRI was lower than that of the PDU for predicting AKI. This study found that the predictive performance of the RRI and PDU from the Doppler ultrasound for AKI was similar, which need to be further verified based on the direct comparison results.
