The aim of the present study was to examine the diagnostic ability of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) with propagation-based reliability for grading of hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension.
This prospective study (UMIN000022838) consisted of 135 subjects. Phase I (n = 40) examined the effect of standard deviation (SD)/median as the reliability criterion of 2D-SWE, and phase II (n = 95) compared the diagnostic ability of 2D-SWE under the best SD/median value and transient elastography (TE).
Phase I reported 0.49 as a best cut-off SD/median value. In phase II, the elasticity showed a correlation between the 2D-SWE and TE (r = 0.88, P < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was comparable between the 2D-SWE and TE (0.936 and 0.948 for chronic hepatitis, P = 0.34; 0.939 and 0.956 for cirrhosis, P = 0.25). The hepatic venous pressure gradient showed a positive correlation with the 2D-SWE (r = 0.435, P = 0.043) and TE (r = 0.378, P = 0.083) in 22 patients. The AUROC was comparable between the 2D-SWE (0.844 for ≥10 mmHg, 0.838 for ≥12 mmHg) and TE (0.781 for ≥10 mmHg, P = 0.484; 0.800 for ≥12 mmHg, P = 0.589).
2D-SWE is promising for the assessment of the grade of hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension, with the SD/median value as a reliability criterion.
本研究旨在探讨基于传播可靠性的二维剪切波弹性成像(2D-SWE)对肝纤维化和门静脉高压分级的诊断能力。
这项前瞻性研究(UMIN000022838)包括135名受试者。第一阶段(n = 40)研究标准差(SD)/中位数作为2D-SWE可靠性标准的效果,第二阶段(n = 95)比较在最佳SD/中位数下2D-SWE与瞬时弹性成像(TE)的诊断能力。
第一阶段报告0.49为最佳截断SD/中位数。在第二阶段,弹性显示2D-SWE与TE之间存在相关性(r = 0.88,P < 0.001)。2D-SWE和TE之间的受试者工作特征曲线下面积(AUROC)相当(慢性肝炎分别为0.936和0.948,P = 0.34;肝硬化分别为0.939和0.956,P = 0.25)。22例患者的肝静脉压力梯度与2D-SWE(r = 0.435,P = 0.043)和TE(r = 0.378,P = 0.083)呈正相关。2D-SWE(≥10 mmHg时为0.844,≥12 mmHg时为0.838)和TE(≥10 mmHg时为0.781,P = 0.484;≥12 mmHg时为0.800,P = 0.589)之间的AUROC相当。
以SD/中位数为可靠性标准,2D-SWE在评估肝纤维化和门静脉高压分级方面具有前景。
