Background: Early detection of post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) allows prompt clinical and pharmacological interventions, reducing the chance of adverse outcomes. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the overall diagnostic accuracy of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for the diagnosis of renal PTDM. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase and SCOPUS up to June 2016. Studies that included adults without previous diabetes were selected if they reported an oral glucose tolerance test as a reference test, HbA1c levels measured by standardized methods and data necessary for drawing 2 × 2 tables. A bivariate model was used to calculate the pooled estimates. Results: Based on 2057 kidney recipients from six studies, an HbA1c cut-off point of 6.5% in early months after transplant resulted in sensitivity of 0.48 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.31-0.65], specificity of 0.96 (95% CI 0.95-0.97), positive likelihood ratio (PLR) of 12.0 (95% CI 7.4-19.5) and negative likelihood ratio (NLR) of 0.54 (95% CI 0.38-0.77). Based on 1888 kidney recipients from four studies, an HbA1c cut-off point of 6.2% early after transplant resulted in sensitivity of 0.76 (95% CI 0.49-0.91), specificity of 0.89 (95% CI 0.86-0.92), PLR of 7.18 (95% CI 5.29-9.75) and NLR of 0.27 (95% CI 0.11-0.65). Conclusion: HbA1c cut-off points of 6.5% and 6.2% presented high specificity but low/moderate sensitivity to diagnose PTDM.
