The accurate diagnosis of biliary strictures remains problematic. The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the clinical utility of probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) under the direct view of peroral cholangioscopy (POCS) for the diagnosis of biliary strictures.
Consecutive patients with biliary strictures were included. We investigated sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy to diagnose malignancy for (1) ERCP alone, (2) POCS, (3) pCLE under the direct view of POCS, and (4) tissue sampling under the direct view of POCS.
A total of 30 patients (17 with malignant lesions) were prospectively enrolled. (1) ERCP alone showed 88.2% sensitivity, 46.2% specificity, and 70% (95% confidence interval (CI), 52.1%-83.3%) accuracy. (2) POCS showed 100% sensitivity, 76.9% specificity, and 90% (95% CI, 74.4%-96.5%) accuracy. (3) pCLE under the direct view of POCS showed 94.1% sensitivity, 92.3% specificity, and 93.3% (95% CI, 78.7%-98.8%) accuracy. (4) Tissue sampling under the direct view of POCS showed 82.4% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 90% (95% CI, 74.4%-96.5%) accuracy.
pCLE under the direct view of POCS provided highly accurate and sensitive characterization of biliary strictures and showed the potential for more diagnostic reliability and reduction of delays in diagnosis. This trial was registered at UMIN (registration number: UMIN000033801).
胆管狭窄的准确诊断仍然存在问题。本研究的目的是前瞻性评估经口胆管镜检查(POCS)直视下基于探头的共聚焦激光内镜检查(pCLE)对胆管狭窄诊断的临床效用。
纳入连续的胆管狭窄患者。我们研究了(1)单纯内镜逆行胰胆管造影(ERCP)、(2)POCS、(3)POCS直视下的pCLE以及(4)POCS直视下组织采样诊断恶性肿瘤的敏感性、特异性和准确性。
前瞻性纳入了30例患者(17例有恶性病变)。(1)单纯ERCP的敏感性为88.2%,特异性为46.2%,准确性为70%(95%置信区间(CI),52.1%-83.3%)。(2)POCS的敏感性为100%,特异性为76.9%,准确性为90%(95%CI,74.4%-96.5%)。(3)POCS直视下的pCLE敏感性为94.1%,特异性为92.3%,准确性为93.3%(95%CI,78.7%-98.8%)。(4)POCS直视下组织采样的敏感性为82.4%,特异性为100%,准确性为90%(95%CI,74.4%-96.5%)。
POCS直视下的pCLE对胆管狭窄具有高度准确和敏感的特征描述,显示出更高诊断可靠性和减少诊断延迟的潜力。本试验在日本大学医学情报网(UMIN)注册(注册号:UMIN000033801)。
