| Parameter | Number of Studies (Patients) | Domains | Strength of Evidence Effect Estimate (95% CI) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Risk of Bias | Consistency | Directness | Precision | |||
| Sensitivity | 6 (196) | Moderate | Consistent | Indirect | Precise | SOE = Moderate Range 89% to 100% Echocardiographic estimate of PVR showed reasonably high sensitivity for ruling in PAH |
| Specificity | 6 (196) | Moderate | Consistent | Indirect | Imprecise | SOE = Moderate Range 50% to 97% Echocardiographic estimate of PVR showed variable specificity, with better specificity in lower prevalence studies (range, 94% to 97%) |
| Correlation | 6 (196) | Low | Consistent | Indirect | Precise | SOE = High Range 0.74 to 0.84 Strong correlation between echocardiographic estimates of PVR and PVR by RHC |
| Adverse effects | 0 (0) | NA | NA | NA | NA | SOE = Insufficient NA |
CI = confidence interval; PAH = pulmonary arterial hypertension; PVR = pulmonary vascular resistance; RHC = right heart catheterization; SOE = strength of evidence; TRV = tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity; VTIRVOT = velocity-time integral of right ventricular outflow tract
