Several studies have reported that ulcerative colitis [UC] patients with endoscopic mucosal healing may still have histological inflammation. We investigated the relationship between mucosal healing defined by modified PICaSSO [Paddington International Virtual ChromoendoScopy ScOre], Mayo Endoscopic Score [MES] and probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy [pCLE] with histological indices in UC.
A prospective study enrolling 82 UC patients [male 66%] was conducted. High-definition colonoscopy was performed to evaluate the activity of the disease with MES assessed with High-Definition MES [HD-MES] and modified PICaSSO and targeted biopsies were taken; pCLE was then performed. Receiver operating characteristic [ROC] curves were plotted to determine the best thresholds for modified PICaSSO and pCLE scores that predicted histological healing according to the Robarts Histopathology Index [RHI] and ECAP 'Extension, Chronicity, Activity, Plus' histology score.
A modified PICaSSO of ≤ 4 predicted histological healing at RHI ≤ 3, with sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and area under the ROC curve [AUROC] of 89.8%, 95.7%, 91.5% and 95.9% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and AUROC of HD-MES to predict histological healing by RHI were 81.4%, 95.7%, 85.4% and 92.1%, respectively. A pCLE ≤ 10 predicted histological healing with sensitivity of 94.9%, specificity of 91.3%, accuracy of 93.9% and AUROC of 96.5%. An ECAP of ≤ 10 was predicted by modified PICaSSO ≤ 4 with accuracy of 91.5% and AUROC of 95.9%.
Histological healing by RHI and ECAP is accurately predicted by HD-MES and modified virtual electronic chromoendoscopy PICaSSO, endoscopic score; and the use of pCLE did not improve the accuracy any further.
几项研究报告称,内镜下黏膜愈合的溃疡性结肠炎[UC]患者仍可能存在组织学炎症。我们研究了改良 PICaSSO[帕丁顿国际虚拟染色内镜评分]、Mayo 内镜评分[MES]和基于探头的共聚焦激光内 镜检查[pCLE]与 UC 组织学指标之间的关系。
进行了一项前瞻性研究,共纳入 82 例 UC 患者[男性占 66%]。采用高清晰度结肠镜检查评估疾病活动度,采用高清 MES[HD-MES]和改良 PICaSSO 评估 MES,并进行靶向活检;然后进行 pCLE。绘制受试者工作特征[ROC]曲线,以确定改良 PICaSSO 和 pCLE 评分的最佳阈值,根据 Robarts 组织学指数[RHI]和 ECAP“延伸、慢性、活动、外加”组织学评分预测组织学愈合。
改良 PICaSSO≤4 预测 RHI≤3 的组织学愈合,其敏感性、特异性、准确性和 ROC 曲线下面积[AUROC]分别为 89.8%、95.7%、91.5%和 95.9%。HD-MES 预测 RHI 组织学愈合的敏感性、特异性、准确性和 AUROC 分别为 81.4%、95.7%、85.4%和 92.1%。pCLE≤10 预测组织学愈合的敏感性为 94.9%,特异性为 91.3%,准确性为 93.9%,AUROC 为 96.5%。改良 PICaSSO≤4 预测 ECAP≤10 的准确性为 91.5%,AUROC 为 95.9%。
HD-MES 和改良虚拟电子染色内镜 PICaSSO、内镜评分准确预测 RHI 和 ECAP 的组织学愈合,而 pCLE 的使用并不能进一步提高准确性。
