However, subsequent studies have yielded inconsistent findings. The reliability of anti-DFS70 antibodies as exclusionary markers for SLE remains uncertain and warrants further investigation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixteen studies investigating 6092 subjects (2427 SLE patients and 3665 healthy individuals) were included in the analysis. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate and compare the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of anti-DFS70 antibodies for determining their utility in excluding SLE in the general population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In SLE patients, the prevalence of anti-DFS70 antibodies was 10.1% (244\/2427; 95% CI: 5.7\u201314.5%), which was not significantly higher than that of HI, at 5.8% (212\/3665; 95% CI: 2.9\u20138.7%). The pooled sensitivities, specificities, and DOR of anti-DFS70 antibodies for the exclusion of SLE were 0.10 (95% CI: 0.09\u20130.11), 0.94 (95% CI: 0.93\u20130.95), 1.04 (95% CI: 0.59\u20131.85), respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was 0.58 (95% CI: 0.28\u20130.90), indicating that the test results of anti-DFS70 antibodies have similar distributions in SLE patients and HI. Regarding monospecific anti-DFS70 antibodies in SLE, three studies involving 385 patients with SLE and 648 healthy individuals found these antibodies in 0.8% (3 out of 385) of SLE patients, compared to 6.6% (43 out of 648) of healthy individuals.
