| الملخص: | <p dir="ltr">This meta‐analysis evaluates the efficacy of point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) in diagnosing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in the emergency department (ED). A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Google Scholar identified studies published until July 2024. Nine studies were included, revealing that POCUS is highly accurate in diagnosing AAA, with a pooled sensitivity of 98.33% and specificity of 99.84%. Additionally, data from three studies indicated that 24.5% of patients with positive AAA scans were diagnosed with ruptured AAAs. The results suggest that emergency physicians can accurately detect and manage AAA using POCUS, even with limited training.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Journal of Clinical Ultrasound<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jcu.23850" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jcu.23850</a></p> |
