    BackgroundThis study aims to assess the impact of contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler ultrasound (cTCD) diagnosis for young adult with cryptogenic stroke (CS).MethodsThis study will analyze data from case-controlled studies investigating the impact of cTCD diagnosis for young adult with CS. A comprehensive literature search will be performed from PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Data from their inceptions up to the August 1, 2019. All databases will be searched with no language limitations. Two researchers will independently carry out study selection, data collection, and study quality assessment. Any discrepancies between two researchers will be solved by a third researcher. We will apply RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 12.0 software for statistical analysis.ResultsOutcomes consist of sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio for determination of cTCD diagnosis for young adult with CS.ConclusionThe results of this study may summarize up-to-date evidence of cTCD diagnosis for young adult with CS.Systematic Review RegistrationPROSPERO CRD42019145641.
