A sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P) is a common type of colorectal polyp that possesses malignant potential. Although narrow-band imaging (NBI) can easily differentiate neoplastic lesions from hyperplastic polyps (HPs), SSA/Ps can be a challenge to distinguish from HPs.
To investigate specific endoscopic features of SSA/Ps by using NBI with optical magnification.
Retrospective study.
Single high-volume referral center.
A total of 289 patients with histopathologically proven SSA/Ps or HPs obtained from colonoscopic polypectomy.
Endoscopic images obtained by using NBI with optical magnification of 242 lesions (124 HPs, 118 SSA/Ps) removed between January 2010 and December 2012 were independently evaluated by 2 experienced endoscopists. Three external experienced endoscopists systematically validated the diagnostic accuracies by using 40 lesions (21 HPs and 19 SSA/Ps) removed between January and March 2013.
Specific endoscopic features of SSA/Ps by using 5 potential characteristics: dilated and branching vessels (DBVs), irregular dark spots, a regular network pattern, a disorganized network pattern, and a dense pattern.
Multivariate analysis demonstrated that DBV had a 2.3-fold odds ratio (95% confidence interval, 0.96-5.69) among SSA/Ps compared with HPs (sensitivity, 56%; specificity, 75%; accuracy, 65%). Interobserver and intraobserver agreement indicated almost perfect agreement for DBVs in both the evaluation and validation studies. When DBVs, proximal location, and tumor size (≥10 mm) were combined, the positive predictive value was 92% and the area under the curve was 0.783 in the receiver-operating characteristics by using the validation group.
Retrospective study.
The current study suggests that a DBV is a potentially unique endoscopic feature of a colorectal SSA/P.
无蒂锯齿状腺瘤/息肉(SSA/P)是一种常见的结直肠息肉,具有恶性潜能。虽然窄带成像(NBI)可以轻松区分肿瘤性病变与增生性息肉(HP),但 SSA/P 可能难以与 HP 区分。
通过使用具有光学放大的 NBI 研究 SSA/P 的特定内镜特征。
回顾性研究。
单一高容量转诊中心。
共 289 例经组织病理学证实的 SSA/P 或 HP 患者,均来自结肠镜息肉切除术。
2010 年 1 月至 2012 年 12 月间切除的 242 个病变(124 个 HP、118 个 SSA/P)的 NBI 图像,由 2 名经验丰富的内镜医师独立评估。3 名外部经验丰富的内镜医师使用 2013 年 1 月至 3 月间切除的 40 个病变(21 个 HP 和 19 个 SSA/P)系统地验证了诊断准确性。
使用 5 种潜在特征(扩张和分支血管[DBV]、不规则暗点、规则网络模式、紊乱网络模式和密集模式)评估 SSA/P 的特定内镜特征。
多变量分析表明,与 HP 相比,DBV 使 SSA/P 的比值比(95%置信区间,0.96-5.69)增加了 2.3 倍(敏感性,56%;特异性,75%;准确性,65%)。评估和验证研究中,DBV 的观察者间和观察者内一致性几乎为完全一致。当将 DBV、近端位置和肿瘤大小(≥10mm)结合起来时,验证组的阳性预测值为 92%,曲线下面积为 0.783。
回顾性研究。
本研究表明,DBV 是结直肠 SSA/P 的一种潜在独特的内镜特征。
