The utility of a cerebrospinal fluid CSF lactate assay for this purpose has been debated and is not yet routinely clinically performed. To adequately evaluate this assay a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies of the CSF lactate concentration as a marker for both bacterial meningitis and aseptic meningitis was performed. Methods Electronic searches in PubMed Scopus the MEDION database and the Cochrane Library were conducted to identify relevant articles published before March 2009. A manual search of reference lists from selected articles was also conducted. Two reviewers independently selected relevant articles and extracted data on study characteristics quality and accuracy. Results Twenty-five articles were identified that met the eligibility criteria. Diagnostic odds ratios were considerably homogenous Chi-square P I2 and the homogeneity was further confirmed by a Galbraith plot and meta-regression analysis using several covariates. The symmetrical summary receiver-operator characteristic curve SROC fitted using the Moses-Shapiro-Littenberg method was positioned near the upper left corner of the SROC curve. The Q value and area under the curve were and respectively indicating excellent accuracy. The diagnostic accuracy of the CSF lactate concentration was higher than those of other four conventional markers CSF glucose CSF plasma glucose quotient CSF protein and CSF total number of leukocytes using a head to head meta-analysis of the 25 included studies. .
