Pediatric Crohn's disease is associated with perianal disease (PAD). Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) assesses small bowel involvement in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD). Pelvic MRI (P-MRI) is the gold standard for assessing PAD.
To determine if MRE can accurately detect PAD in PIBD, distinguishing perianal fistulae (PAF) from perianal abscesses (PAA), referenced against P-MRI.
Retrospective.
Seventy-seven PIBD patients, 27 females (mean age 14.1 years), with P-MRI and MRE within 6 months.
FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 1.5T and 3T; P-MRI: sagittal fat suppressed (FS) T fast spin-echo (FSE), coronal short tau inversion recovery, axial T FSE, coronal and axial postcontrast FS T FSE; MRE: coronal balanced steady-state free-precession (SSFP), coronal cine SSFP, coronal and axial single-shot T FS, axial SSFP, coronal ultrafast 3D T -weighted gradient echo FS (3D T GE), axial diffusion-weighted imaging, coronal and axial postcontrast 3D T GE FS.
Two radiologists independently, then by consensus, assessed randomized MRI exams, recording PAF number, location, and length; and PAA number, location, length, and volume. Sensitivity analysis used clinical disease as the gold standard, calculated separately for P-MRI and MRE.
Comparing MRE and P-MRI consensus data, sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive values (P/NPV) were calculated. Inter- and intrareader reliability were assessed using kappa statistics.
P-MRI and MRE were paired, detecting PAD in 73 patients, PAF in 63, and PAA in 31 P-MRI. MRE sensitivities, specificities, PPV, and NPV were: PAD 82%, 100%, 100%, 23%; PAF 74%, 71%, 92%, 38%; PAA 51%, 85%, 69%, 72%; clinical 82%, 22%, 37%, 69%; clinical P-MRI 96%, 8%, 37%, 80%. MRE interreader agreement for PAD was moderate (kappa = 0.51 [0.29-0.73]), fair for PAF and PAA.
Using a standard technique, MRE can detect PAD with high specificity and moderate sensitivity in PIBD, missing some PAF and small PAA.

小儿克罗恩病与肛周疾病(PAD)有关。磁共振肠造影术(MRE)评估小儿炎症性肠病(PIBD)的小肠受累情况。盆腔 MRI(P-MRI)是评估 PAD 的金标准。
确定 MRE 是否可以准确检测 PIBD 中的 PAD,将肛周瘘(PAF)与肛周脓肿(PAA)区分开来,并与 P-MRI 进行对照。
回顾性。
77 名 PIBD 患者,27 名女性(平均年龄 14.1 岁),在 6 个月内接受了 P-MRI 和 MRE 检查。
磁场强度/序列:1.5T 和 3T;P-MRI:矢状位脂肪抑制(FS)T 快速自旋回波(FSE)、冠状位短 tau 反转恢复、轴向 T FSE、冠状位和轴向对比 FS T FSE;MRE:冠状位平衡稳态自由进动(SSFP)、冠状位电影 SSFP、冠状位和轴向单次激发 T FS、轴向 SSFP、冠状位超快 3D T-加权梯度回波 FS(3D T GE)、轴向扩散加权成像、冠状位和轴向对比 3D T GE FS。
两位放射科医生独立评估随机 MRI 检查,记录 PAF 的数量、位置和长度;以及 PAA 的数量、位置、长度和体积。使用临床疾病作为金标准进行了敏感性分析,分别对 P-MRI 和 MRE 进行了计算。
比较 MRE 和 P-MRI 共识数据,计算敏感性、特异性、阳性和阴性预测值(P/NPV)。使用kappa 统计评估了读者间和读者内的可靠性。
MRE 和 P-MRI 配对,在 73 名患者中检测到 PAD,在 63 名患者中检测到 PAF,在 31 名 P-MRI 患者中检测到 PAA。MRE 的敏感性、特异性、PPV 和 NPV 分别为:PAD 82%、100%、100%、23%;PAF 74%、71%、92%、38%;PAA 51%、85%、69%、72%;临床 82%、22%、37%、69%;临床 P-MRI 96%、8%、37%、80%。MRE 对 PAD 的读者间一致性为中度(kappa=0.51[0.29-0.73]),对 PAF 和 PAA 的一致性为一般。
使用标准技术,MRE 可以在 PIBD 中以高特异性和中等敏感性检测 PAD,会遗漏一些 PAF 和小的 PAA。
