Objective To systematically review the value of mass screening of serum pepsinogen test for Asian population with high-risk gastric carcinoma. Methods We electronically searched databases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 12, 2013), CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and CBM for diagnostic tests on serum pepsinogen test versus with pathological biopsy/X-ray examination (gold standard) between January 2004 and January 2014. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality of included studies. Then meta-analysis was conducted using Meta-DiSc software (version 1.4). Results A total of 15 studies involving 180 934 subjects were included. ROC curve showed "shoulder-arm shape" distribution. The results of Spearman correlation analysis suggested a significance of the threshold effect (P=0.001). The results of meta-analysis showed that, the area under curve (AUC) was 0.74. Conclusion Serum pepsinogen has good value in the screening of gastric carcinoma among Asian permanent residents. Due to limited quality of studies, the above conclusion should be verified by conducting more high quality studies.
