BACKGROUND & AIMS: Subepithelial tumors (SETs) are difficult to diagnose accurately without invasive pathological confirmation. We created a noninvasive prediction model for diagnosing gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) using contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound (CEH-EUS).
We retrospectively reviewed 176 patients who underwent CEH-EUS from October 2011 to August 2017. Seventy patients with a diagnosis of GIST (n = 37) or leiomyoma (n = 33) were included. The long-to-short axis ratio (LSR) and enhancement patterns (vascularity, diffuse enhancement) on CEH-EUS were assessed. Logistic regression and classification and regression tree (CART) analyses were performed.
The mean age of all patients was 54.9 ± 13.68 years. The GIST group showed significantly higher rates of positive vascularity (81.1% vs. 15.2%, p < 0.001) and diffuse enhancement (51.4% vs. 15.2%, p = 0.001), and lower LSR (1.30 vs. 1.76, p < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression, positive vascularity (odds ratio [OR] 27.765, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.336-144.458) and low LSR (OR 18.940, 95% CI 3.623-99.007) were independent predictors of GIST. A noninvasive prediction model for GISTs was developed using the CART model, by allocating patients according to statistically significant variables.
The LSR and vascularity of SETs on CEH-EUS can be used as parameters for a noninvasive prediction model of GISTs. This model may be helpful in the early identification and treatment of GISTs.
在没有侵袭性病理确认的情况下,很难准确诊断黏膜下肿瘤(SET)。我们使用对比增强谐波内镜超声(CEH-EUS)创建了一种用于诊断胃肠道间质瘤(GIST)的非侵入性预测模型。
我们回顾性分析了 2011 年 10 月至 2017 年 8 月期间接受 CEH-EUS 的 176 名患者。纳入了 70 名诊断为 GIST(n=37)或平滑肌瘤(n=33)的患者。评估了 CEH-EUS 上的长径短径比(LSR)和增强模式(血管性、弥漫性增强)。进行了逻辑回归和分类回归树(CART)分析。
所有患者的平均年龄为 54.9±13.68 岁。GIST 组显示出更高的阳性血管性(81.1% vs. 15.2%,p<0.001)和弥漫性增强(51.4% vs. 15.2%,p=0.001)的发生率,以及更低的 LSR(1.30 vs. 1.76,p<0.001)。多变量逻辑回归显示,阳性血管性(优势比[OR]27.765,95%置信区间[CI]5.336-144.458)和低 LSR(OR 18.940,95%CI 3.623-99.007)是 GIST 的独立预测因子。使用 CART 模型,根据统计学显著变量为患者分配,建立了 GIST 的非侵入性预测模型。
CEH-EUS 上 SET 的 LSR 和血管性可作为 GIST 非侵入性预测模型的参数。该模型可能有助于 GIST 的早期识别和治疗。
