ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic value of recombinase polymerase/ aided amplification (RPA/RAA) integrated clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) in the diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).MethodsWe searched relevant literature on CRISPR technology for COVID-19 diagnosis using "novel coronavirus", "clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats" and "RPA/RAA" as subject terms in PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Embase databases. Further, we performed a meta-analysis after screening the literature, quality assessment, and data extraction.ResultsThe pooled sensitivity, specificity and a rea under the summary receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) were 0.98 [95% confidence interval (CI):0.97-0.99], 0.99 (95% CI: 0.97-1.00) and 1.00 (95% CI: 0.98-1.00), respectively. For CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins-12, the sensitivity, specificity was 0.98 (95% CI: 0.96-1.00), 1.00 (95% CI: 0.99-1.00), respectively. For Cas13, the sensitivity and specificity were 0.99 (95% CI: 0.97-1.00) and 0.95 (95% CI: 0.91-1.00). The positive likelihood ratio (PLR) was 183.2 (95% CI: 28.8, 1166.8); the negative likelihood ratio (NLR) was 0.02 (95% CI: 0.01, 0.03).ConclusionRPA/RAA integrated with CRISPR technology is used to diagnose coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) with high accuracy and can be used for large-scale population screening. |
