To evaluate accuracy of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D SWE) and develop and validate a new prognostic score in predicting prognosis of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients.
From 1 October 2013 to 30 September 2015, we consecutively enrolled 290 patients, sequentially collected data (including 2D SWE, ultrasound parameters, laboratory data and prognostic scores) and recorded patients' outcome (recovering/steady or worsening) during a 90-day follow-up period. We evaluated ability of 2D SWE to predict outcomes of acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure (ACLF-HBV) patients. We developed a new score (MELD-SWE, combining MELD and SWE values) for predicting mortality risk of ACLF-HBV in 179 patients in a derivation group, and validated in 111 patients.
2D SWE values were higher in worsening patients than recovering/steady ones (p < 0.001). Accuracy of 2D SWE in predicting outcomes of ACLF-HBV was comparable to that of the MELD score (p = 0.441). MELD-SWE showed a significantly higher prognostic value than MELD in both derivation (AUROC, 0.80 vs. 0.76, p = 0.040) and validation (AUROC, 0.87 vs. 0.82, p = 0.018) group.
The MELD-SWE score, combining MELD and SWE values, was superior to MELD alone for outcoming prediction in patients with ACLF-HBV.
• 2D SWE is a simple prognostic evaluation tool in patients with ACLF-HBV. • MELD-SWE was created in this study: 1.3×MELD + 0.3×2D SWE (kPa). • MELD-SWE score was superior to MELD alone for outcoming prediction in ACLF-HBV. • In this study, 46.8 was the optimal cut-off value of MELD-SWE score.
评估二维剪切波弹性成像(2D SWE)的准确性,并开发和验证一种新的预后评分,以预测慢加急性肝衰竭(ACLF)患者的预后。
2013 年 10 月 1 日至 2015 年 9 月 30 日,我们连续纳入 290 例患者,连续采集数据(包括 2D SWE、超声参数、实验室数据和预后评分),并在 90 天随访期间记录患者的结局(好转/稳定或恶化)。我们评估了 2D SWE 预测乙型肝炎相关慢加急性肝衰竭(ACLF-HBV)患者结局的能力。我们在 179 例患者中建立了一个新的评分(MELD-SWE,结合 MELD 和 SWE 值),并在 111 例患者中进行了验证。
恶化患者的 2D SWE 值高于好转/稳定患者(p<0.001)。2D SWE 预测 ACLF-HBV 结局的准确性与 MELD 评分相当(p=0.441)。MELD-SWE 在推导组(AUROC,0.80 与 0.76,p=0.040)和验证组(AUROC,0.87 与 0.82,p=0.018)中均显示出比 MELD 更高的预后价值。
MELD-SWE 评分,结合 MELD 和 SWE 值,优于单独的 MELD 用于预测 ACLF-HBV 患者的结局。
2D SWE 是 ACLF-HBV 患者预后评估的简单工具。
在本研究中创建了 MELD-SWE:1.3×MELD+0.3×2D SWE(kPa)。
MELD-SWE 评分优于单独的 MELD 用于预测 ACLF-HBV 的结局。
在本研究中,MELD-SWE 评分的最佳截断值为 46.8。
