Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic yield and performance of DWI in patients with sporadic CJD (sCJD). METHODS: A systematic literature search of the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases was performed, since their inception up to July 28, 2020. Pooled diagnostic yield of diffusion-weighted imaging was calculated using DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model. Pooled diagnostic performance of DWI (sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve) in diagnosing sCJD among patients with rapidly progressive dementia was calculated using a bivariate random-effects model. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression were performed. RESULTS: Fifteen original articles with a total of 1144 patients with sCJD were included. The pooled diagnostic yield was 91% (95% confidence interval [CI], 86 to 94%); summary sensitivity, 91% (95% CI, 84 to 95%); and specificity, 97% (95% CI, 94 to 99%). The area under the hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.99 (95% CI, 0.97-0.99). Simultaneous involvement of the neocortex and striatum was the most common finding, and the neocortex was the most common site to be involved on DWI followed by striatum, thalamus, and cerebellum. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression demonstrated significant heterogeneity among the studies associated with the reference standards used for diagnosis of sCJD. CONCLUSIONS: DWI showed excellent diagnostic value in diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease among patients with rapidly progressive dementia. Simultaneous involvement of the neocortex and striatum was the most common finding, and the neocortex was the most common site to be involved on diffusion-weighted imaging followed by striatum, thalamus, and cerebellum. KEY POINTS: • The pooled diagnostic yield of diffusion-weighted imaging in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease was 91%. • The diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted imaging for predicting sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease among patients with rapidly progressive dementia was excellent, with pooled sensitivity, 91%, and specificity, 97%. • Simultaneous involvement in the neocortex and striatum was most commonly seen on diffusion-weighted imaging (60%), followed by the neocortex without striatum (30%), thalamus (21%), cerebellum (8%), and striatum without neocortex (7%).
