Diagnostic accuracy of EUS compared with MRCP in detecting choledocholithiasis: a meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy of head-to-head studies

There is a wide range of reported sensitivity and specificity for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in the diagnosis of the choledocholithiasis with lack of a proper meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) using head-to-head comparison. Here, we aimed at comparing the diagnostic accuracy of EUS and MRCP in detecting choledocholithiasis using appropriate methodology recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration.
