Diagnostic Accuracy of End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide for Assessing Diabetic Ketoacidosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis show the high sensitivity and specificity of EtCO<sub>2</sub> in diagnosing DKA, which indicates its potential as a reliable diagnostic tool in emergency settings. However, the overall quality of the included studies, which were assessed to have medium to high risk of bias, should be considered when using EtCO<sub>2</sub> in clinical practice. Further high-quality research is needed to confirm the diagnostic value of EtCO<sub>2</sub> in emergency settings.
