- W3118738570 abstract "Introduction Ultrasound is a valuable tool in establishing the cause of acute scrotum pain. However, its role in testicular torsion (TT) detection remains controversial. This review aims integrate pre-existing data to assess the value of B-mode and colour Doppler ultrasound (CDS) features combined in the detection of TT in acute scrotum pain patients of all ages. Methods A search through electronic databases, grey literature and hand searching using specific search terms was conducted to identify relevant literature. Search results were subjected to a three-step selection process to ensure the inclusion criteria of this review were met. Statistical data pertaining to the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the B-mode, CDS and combined B-mode CDS features were extracted. These results subsequently underwent a narrative analysis. Results Five studies met the inclusion criteria. A variety of B-mode features were identified. Most studies showed that reliance on CDS alone can be prone to false-negative results. The combination of B-mode and CDS features were found to increase the overall sensitivity of ultrasound towards TT (up to 100% in 3 studies). All studies recommended correlation with clinical examination findings. Several limitations in methodology of the included studies were noted: small sample populations and lack of information on the experience of ultrasound practitioners. This highlighted the need for a primary study with a larger sample population to validate the findings of this review. Conclusion The combination of B-mode and CDS ultrasound is a useful and reliable triage tool in the detection of TT, particularly in equivocal or low suspicion cases but its findings should always be adjunct with clinical examination. Nevertheless, it is noted that appropriate service level agreements, pathways, and training are key factors in ensuring effectiveness of the process. Implications for practice Dedicated training and appropriate departmental protocol are key in ensuring accurate diagnosis across all levels of practice." @default.
