Correlations between diffusion tensor imaging and levels of consciousness in patients with traumatic brain injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to impaired consciousness. Recent diffusion tensor imaging studies associated consciousness with imaging metrics including fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). We evaluated their correlations and determined the best in...

Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to impaired consciousness. Recent diffusion tensor imaging studies associated consciousness with imaging metrics including fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). We evaluated their correlations and determined the best index in candidate regions. Six databases were searched, including PubMed and Embase, and 16 studies with 701 participants were included. Data from region-of-interest and whole-brain analysis methods were meta-analysed separately. The FA-consciousness correlation was marginal in the whole-brain white matter (r = 0.63, 95% CI [0.47, 0.79], p = 0.000) and the corpus callosum (CC) (r = 0.60, 95% CI [0.48, 0.71], p = 0.000), and moderate in the internal capsule (r = 0.48, 95% CI [0.24, 0.72], p = 0.000). Correlations with ADC trended negative and lacked significance. Further subgroup analysis revealed that consciousness levels correlated strongly with FA in the CC body (r = 0.66, 95% CI [0.43, 0.89]), moderately in the splenium (r = 0.58, 95% CI [0.38, 0.78]), but insignificantly in the genu. In conclusion, FA correlates better with consciousness levels than ADC in TBI. The degree of correlation varies among brain regions. The CC (especially its splenium and body) is a reliable candidate region to quantitatively reflect consciousness levels. |
