Data Sheet 3_Diagnostic accuracy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen-induced interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 for latent tuberculosis infection among high-risk groups: a systematic review and meta-analysis.pdf

Interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) has been proposed as a candidate biomarker, but its diagnostic value for LTBI among high-risk groups is unclear. To address this, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the accuracy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) antigen-induced IP-10 for detecting LTBI among high-risk groups.</p>Methods<p>PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were searched up to April 2026.

Cohort and cross-sectional studies evaluating Mtb antigen-induced IP-10 for LTBI diagnosis in high-risk groups were included. A bivariate random-effects model and a hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic model were used to estimate and summarize the overall diagnostic performance.</p>Results<p>Nineteen articles comprising 24 studies (2,014 participants) were included. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios, diagnostic odds ratio, and area under the curve of Mtb antigen-induced IP-10 were 0.81, 0.88, 6.93, 0.21, 32.56, and 0.91, respectively, indicating good diagnostic performance of Mtb antigen-induced IP-10 for detecting LTBI among high-risk groups.
