dc.description.abstractBackground: The optimal imaging method for detecting distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs) remains undefined. Purpose: The objective of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance of CTA with CTP in detecting DMVOs. Data sources: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science Core Collection, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up to March 31, 2023 (PROSPERO: CRD42022344006). Study selection: A total of 12 studies reporting accuracy values of CTA and/or CTP were included, comprising 2607 patients with 479 cases (18.3%) of DMVOs. Data analysis: Pooled sensitivity and specificity of both imaging methods were compared using a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed based on the technique used in CTA (multi or single-phase) and the subtype of DMVOs (M2-only vs. M2 and other DMVOs). We applied Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy (QUADAS-2) tool and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) quality assessment criteria. Data synthesis: CTA demonstrated significantly lower sensitivity compared to CTP in detecting DMVOs [0.74, 95%CI (0.63-0.82) vs. 0.89, 95% CI (0.82-0.93), P < 0.01]. When subgrouped into single-phase and multi-phase CTA, multi-phase CTA exhibited higher sensitivity for DMVO detection than single-phase CTA [0.91, 95%CI (0.85-0.94) vs. 0.64, 95%CI (0.56-0.71), P < .01], while reaching similar levels to CTP. The sensitivity of single-phase CTA substantially decreased when extending from M2 to other non-M2 DMVOs [0.74, 95%CI (0.63-0.83) vs. 0.61, 0.95%CI (0.53-0.68), P = .02]. Limitations: We identified an overall high risk of bias and low quality of evidence, attributable to the design and reference standards of most studies. Conclusions: Our findings highlight a significantly lower sensitivity of single-phase CTA compared to multi-phase CTA and CTP in diagnosing DMVOs.pt_PT
