AIM: To obtain the diagnostic performance of percu-taneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) under Computed tomography (CT) fuoroscopy guidance for lung ground-glass opacity (GGO).METHODS: We searched for English- and Chinese-language studies in PubMed, EMBASE, EBSCO, OVID, and CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) database. Data were calculated with Meta-Disc version 1.4 and Rev Man version 5.2 software. From the pooled data, we calculated sensitivity (Sen), specificity (Spe), positive likelihood ratio (+LR), negative likelihood ratio (-LR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR). Summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves were constructed and incidence of complications was recorded.RESULTS: Four documents included in this present meta-analysis met the criteria for analysis. The pooled Sen, Spe, +LR, -LR and DOR with 95%CI were 0.91 (0.86-0.95), 1.0 (0.91-1.0), 18.64 (4.83-71.93), 0.11 (0.05-0.26) and 153.17 (30.78-762.33), respectively. The area under the SROC curve was 0.98. The incidence of pneumothorax and hemoptysis was 17.86%-51.80% and 10.50%-19.40%, respectively.CONCLUSION: CT fuoroscopy-guided PTNB, which has an acceptable incidence of complications, can be used as a primary examination method for lung GGO, with moderate sensitivity and specifcity.
