UNLABELLED: Due to the subjectivity of the Baker scale in grading capsular contracture (CC), an objective and reproducible measurement tool is necessary to estimate the presence and grade of CC in patients with breast implants. This study aimed to assess the capacity of breast ultrasonography to identify CCs using the Baker grading system. METHODS: This study included patients who underwent breast augmentation with implants or implant-based breast reconstruction. Patient demographics, surgical type, and ultrasonographic variables were analyzed. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine differences between means, and the Fisher exact test was used for binary variables. RESULTS: A total of 21 patients (28 breasts) with smooth surface implants were included. In total, 39.2% of breasts had a score of Baker I, 25% had Baker II, 17.9% had Baker III, and 17.9% had Baker IV. When comparing breasts graded Baker I to IV, a mean capsule thickness of 0.6 ± 0.2, 1.0 ± 0.53, 1.68 ± 0.99, and 1.52 ± 0.46 mm, respectively, was shown ( = 0.0044). The breast implant deformity variable was significantly different between Baker grades I to IV (0.0218). Finally, Baker III and IV categories were five times more likely to have abnormal wrinkles than Baker I and II (odds ratio, 5.25; 95% confidence interval, 0.82-33.45; = 0.0496). CONCLUSION: Ultrasound is a useful tool for evaluating the presence of augmented thickness, implant shape deformity, and abnormal wrinkles of the implant shell in correlation with the severity of CC.
未标注:由于贝克量表在评估包膜挛缩(CC)分级时具有主观性,因此需要一种客观且可重复的测量工具来评估隆胸患者中CC的存在情况及分级。本研究旨在评估乳腺超声使用贝克分级系统识别CC的能力。 方法:本研究纳入了接受假体隆胸或基于假体的乳房重建的患者。分析了患者的人口统计学特征、手术类型和超声变量。采用Kruskal-Wallis检验确定均值之间的差异,采用Fisher精确检验分析二元变量。 结果:共纳入21例(28个乳房)使用表面光滑假体的患者。总体而言,39.2%的乳房评分为贝克I级,25%为贝克II级,17.9%为贝克III级,17.9%为贝克IV级。比较贝克I级至IV级的乳房时,平均包膜厚度分别为0.6±0.2、1.0±0.53、1.68±0.99和1.52±0.46mm(P = 0.0044)。贝克I级至IV级之间的乳房假体畸形变量有显著差异(P = 0.0218)。最后,贝克III级和IV级出现异常褶皱的可能性是贝克I级和II级的五倍(优势比,5.25;95%置信区间,0.82 - 33.45;P = 0.0496)。 结论:超声是一种有用的工具,可用于评估增厚情况、假体形状畸形以及假体外壳异常褶皱的存在情况,并与CC的严重程度相关联。
