The purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell-free DNA (cfDNA) for diagnosing of TB.<h4>Methods</h4>We searched relevant databases for studies that used cfDNA to diagnose TB. We evaluated the accuracy of cfDNA compared with the composite reference standard (CRS) and culture. True positive, false positive, false negative, and true negative values for cfDNA were obtained first, then the estimated pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve (AUC) of cfDNA for diagnosing TB were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Heterogeneity was determined using the I2 statistic. When the heterogeneity was obvious, the source of heterogeneity was further discussed.<h4>Results</h4>We included 14 independent studies comparing cfDNA with the CRS, and 4 studies compared with culture. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, DOR, and AUC of the SROC were 68%, 98%,99%, 62%, 83, and 0.97 as compared with the CRS, respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, DOR, and AUC of the SROC were 48%, 91%, 92%, 60%, 5, and 0.88 as compared with culture, respectively. The heterogeneity between studies was significant.<h4>Conclusions</h4>The accuracy of cfDNA testing for TB diagnosis was good compared with CRS and culture. cfDNA can be used for rapid early diagnosis of TB.Guocan YuYanqin ShenBo YeYan ShiPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 6, p e0253658 (2021)
