Abstract
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracies of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence for identifying parathyroid glands during surgery and predicting the postoperative function. METHODS: From six databases, 21 studies were finally included in the study. True-positive, true-negative, false-positive, and false-negative data were extracted for the analysis. The quality of each study was analyzed using the QUADAS-2 tool. RESULTS: The sensitivity of ICG-based parathyroid gland identification was 0.9380 (95% CI [0.9003, 0.9621]). The diagnostic odds ratio for ICG-based prediction of parathyroid gland function was 54.5652 [13.2059, 225.4570]. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.909. Fluorescence intensity-based prediction presented higher diagnostic accuracy than that of score-based prediction. The incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism was higher in the group with a zero ICG score compared to the high scored group. CONCLUSIONS: Identification of parathyroid gland and prediction of postoperative function using ICG are valuable to patients undergoing thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy.
