BACKGROUND/AIMS: We evaluated the test performance profile (TPP) of blood tests of liver fibrosis.
Three hundred and fifty-six patients with C chronic hepatitis were included in two centers. Metavir staging of liver specimens by two independent pathologists and the following tests were evaluated: Fibrotest (FT), APRI, FibroMeter (FM), and Hepascore (HS).
Metavir stages were: F0: 4%, F1: 55%, F2: 26%, F3: 11%, and F4: 4%. The AUROCs were not significantly different, respectively, FT, FM, APRI, HS: >or=F2: 0.79, 0.78, 0.76, >or=0.76; F3: 0.81, 0.85, 0.81, 0.81; and F4: 0.86, 0.94, 0.92, 0.89. The TPP relies on the paired comparison of blood-test misclassification based on liver specimen, e.g. FT vs FM, respectively: F0+1: 18 vs 28% (p=0.0003), >or=F2: 43 vs 31% (p=0.004). There was no center effect.
In those populations, the four blood tests had a similar performance for significant fibrosis (F>or=2), lying in the lower range of published results which is attributable to a low >or=F2 prevalence, and for >or=F3 and F4. However, FM and FT had performance profiles significantly different as a function of fibrosis stages or diagnostic target (fibrosis cut-off). This has to be considered during the interpretation process. Moreover, the performance should be reported with different diagnostic targets.
背景/目的:我们评估了肝纤维化血液检测的检测性能概况(TPP)。
两个中心纳入了356例慢性丙型肝炎患者。由两名独立病理学家对肝脏标本进行梅塔维分级,并评估以下检测:纤维检测(FT)、天冬氨酸氨基转移酶与血小板比值指数(APRI)、纤维计量器(FM)和肝纤维化评分(HS)。
梅塔维分级为:F0:4%,F1:55%,F2:26%,F3:11%,F4:4%。曲线下面积(AUROC)无显著差异,FT、FM、APRI、HS分别为:≥F2:0.79、0.78、0.76、≥0.76;F3:0.81、0.85、0.81、0.81;F4:0.86、0.94、0.92、0.89。TPP依赖于基于肝脏标本的血液检测错误分类的配对比较,例如FT与FM,分别为:F0 + 1:18%对28%(p = 0.0003),≥F2:43%对31%(p = 0.004)。不存在中心效应。
在这些人群中,这四项血液检测对于显著纤维化(F≥2)的表现相似,处于已发表结果的较低范围,这归因于较低的≥F2患病率,对于≥F3和F4也是如此。然而,FM和FT作为纤维化阶段或诊断靶点(纤维化临界值)的函数,其性能概况有显著差异。在解释过程中必须考虑这一点。此外,应报告不同诊断靶点的性能。
