@entity5 standardized uptake value as a prognostic factor in primary XXXX .

@entity5 @entity1 @entity213
UNASSIGNED: Our objective was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies assessing the diagnostic performance of @entity5 standardized uptake value (SUV) in @entity213 ( @entity213 ), as measured by positron emission tomography. A systematic search of the indexed medical literature was conducted using appropriate keywords to identify relevant studies. Six articles were identified by searching electronic databases. A statistical analysis was performed with RevMan 4.2.2 software. SUV measurement and the SUV threshold for defining high SUV were studied dependently. For each publication, we first obtained an estimate of the relative risk (RR) for comparing @entity1 with a low and those with a high SUV. Subsequently, we aggregated the individual RRs into a combined RR using the fixed-effects model to yield weighted mean pooled estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Publication bias was assessed with a funnel plot. A total of 6 clinical trials involving 453 @entity1 were included in the meta-analysis. The combined RR from the 6 reports for local control was 0.72 (95% CI: 0.63-0.81). The funnel plot revealed symmetrical distribution, indicating no evidence of significant publication bias. The increase in the SUV of the @entity5 was found to be a poor prognostic marker for @entity1 with @entity213 in the meta-analysis, which requires further confirmation in a meta-analysis based on individual @entity1 data.
