Core Tip	Our manuscript demonstrated that the ground glass opacity (GGO) predicted favorable overall survival (P < 0.001) and disease-free survival (P = 0.003). Subgroup analysis based on the ratio of GGO further demonstrated that the proportion of GGO was a good prognostic indicator in pathological stage I pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients and patients with a higher ratio of GGO showed better prognosis than patients with a lower GGO ratio did. This meta-analysis manifested that the presence of GGO on computed tomography predicted favorable prognosis in tumor-node-metastasis stage I lung adenocarcinoma. Patients with a higher GGO ratio were more likely to have a better prognosis than patients with a lower GGO ratio.
