Introduction Alzheimer’s disease (AD), characterized by distinctive pathologies such as amyloid-β plaques and tau tangles, also involves deregulation of iron homeostasis, which may accelerate neurodegeneration. This meta-analysis evaluated the use quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) to detect accumulation in deep gray matter (DGM) basal ganglia AD, contributing a better understanding AD progression, potentially leading new diagnostic therapeutic approaches. Methods Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Web Sciences, Google Scholar databases up October 2023 studies employing QSM research. Eligibility criteria were based on PECO framework, included assessing alterations magnetic indicative DGM patients with AD. After initial screening quality assessment using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, was conducted compare levels between healthy controls (HCs) random-effects model. Results The nine comprising 267 272 HCs.
