Abstract
In patients with possible distal forearm fracture, is ultrasound scanning a reliable method of diagnosis when compared with X-ray?
Design : Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Data source : Medline, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library.
Study inclusion criteria : Comparison of ultrasound and X-ray in patients with potential distal forearm fractures; written in English, French, German or Spanish language.
A total of 16 studies involving 1204 patients with 641 fractures were included. Twelve studies involving 951 patients looked specifically at children. Included studies all used X-ray as their ‘gold standard’ for diagnosing fractures and compared ultrasound to this. Most studies …
对于可能发生前臂远端骨折的患者,与x线相比,超声扫描是一种可靠的诊断方法吗?设计:系统回顾和荟萃分析。数据来源:Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane图书馆。研究纳入标准:潜在前臂远端骨折患者的超声与x线比较;用英语、法语、德语或西班牙语书写。共纳入16项研究,涉及1204例641例骨折。涉及951名患者的12项研究专门针对儿童。所有纳入的研究都使用x光作为诊断骨折的“金标准”,并将其与超声波进行比较。大多数研究……
