Abstract: PURPOSE: To evaluate the value of human papillomavirus (HPV) status in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) using diagnostic meta-analysis based on radiomics. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI and VIP databases were searched for literatures related to radiomics identification of HPV status. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to May 28, 2022. Statistical software such as Revman 5.4 was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the prediction model. RESULTS: A total of 9 papers, including 3312 patients, were included in this study. The combined results showed that the sensitivity, specificity and positive likelihood ratio of radiomic-based methods in the diagnosis of HPV status were 0.82[95%CI(0.74,0.87)], 0.66[95%CI(0.54,0.75)] and 2.4[95%CI(1.8,3.1)], respectively. The negative likelihood ratio was 0.28[95%CI(0.21,0.36)], the diagnostic odds ratio was 9[95%CI(6,12)], and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.82[95%CI(0.78,0.85)]. HPV status was identified by imaging histochemistry with a 25% pretest probability, which was elevated to 44%(post-test probability). CONCLUSIONS: The radiomics method has high practical value in identification of HPV status in patients with HNSCC.
