Abstract:

Objective To investigate the value of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) antibody in the diagnosis of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19) by meta-analysis. Methods Relevant articles were collected from PubMed,Embase,the Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang Data and VIP databases. The pooled sensitivity,specificity,diagnostic odds ratio(DOR) were calculated,and the heterogeneity was investigated. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic(SROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 antibody for COVID-19. Results Totally,11 studies including 1 117 COVID-19 patients and 713 healthy controls were collected in this meta-analysis. The pooled of sensitivity,specificity,DOR and area under curve(AUC) of SARS-CoV-2 antibody IgM were 0.82,0.97,139.95 and 0.98,and those of SARS-CoV-2 antibody IgG were 0.83,0.98,213.02 and 0.98,respectively. Chemiluminescence had higher sensitivity than colloidal gold method. The heterogeneity was evident in these studies,but there was no threshold effect. Conclusion SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies have high values in the auxiliary diagnosis and differential diagnosis of COVID-19.
