الوصف: The Aldosteronoma Resolution Score (ARS) is the most studied scoring system for predicting the high likelihood of hypertension cure after adrenalectomy for unilateral primary aldosteronism (PA). However, the ARS's accuracy in PA patients worldwide is uncertain. We aimed to perform a meta-analysis of the accuracy, discrimination, and calibration of the ARS using stratum-specific likelihood ratios (SSLR) by organizing available data from cohort studies. We searched PubMed, Embase (Ovid), the Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science to November 2021 according to PRISMA statement. The quality assessment used adapted TRIPOD and PROBAST criteria. Thirteen studies comprising 2158 PA patients from North America (43%), Europe (32%), Asia (22%), and other continents, were included. The pooled estimate of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for all studies was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.73-0.81), and the ratio of the observed to expected complete resolution of hypertension (CRH) for all studies was 0.9 (95% CI: 0.8-1.0). The summary estimates of the SSLR for all studies were 0.31, 0.89, and 3.1, for the low (ARS 0-1), medium (ARS 2-3), and high-likelihood group (ARS 4-5) of CRH, respectively. However, substantial heterogeneity existed among studies. Follow-up period, and adrenalectomy AVS (adrenal vein sampling)-guided served as potential sources of heterogeneity for quantitative studies, which were measurement and reference standard for qualitative studies selection. In conclusion, in patients with unilateral PA, the ARS is currently an accurate prediction tool, the easiest and cheapest, for identifying long-term high likelihood of CRH after adrenalectomy, particularly when the adrenalectomy is AVS-guided.
