To evaluate blood-based biomarkers to detect endometriosis and/or adenomyosis across nine European centers (June 2014-April 2018).
This prospective, non-interventional study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of 54 blood-based biomarker immunoassays in samples from 919 women (aged 18-45 years) with suspicion of endometriosis and/or adenomyosis versus symptomatic controls. Endometriosis was stratified by revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine stage. Symptomatic controls were "pathologic symptomatic controls" or "pathology-free symptomatic controls". The main outcome measure was receiver operating characteristic-area under the curve (ROC-AUC) and Wilcoxon P values corrected for multiple testing (q values).
CA-125 performed best in "all endometriosis cases" versus "all symptomatic controls" (AUC 0.645, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.600-0.690, q < 0.001) and increased (P < 0.001) with disease stage. In "all endometriosis cases" versus "pathology-free symptomatic controls", S100-A12 performed best (AUC 0.692, 95% CI 0.614-0.769, q = 0.001) followed by CA-125 (AUC 0.649, 95% CI 0.569-0.729, q = 0.021). In "adenomyosis only cases" versus "symptomatic controls" or "pathology-free symptomatic controls", respectively, the top-performing biomarkers were sFRP-4 (AUC 0.615, 95% CI 0.551-0.678, q = 0.045) and S100-A12 (AUC 0.701, 95% CI 0.611-0.792, q = 0.004).
This study concluded that no biomarkers tested could diagnose or rule out endometriosis/adenomyosis with high certainty.
评估血液生物标志物在九个欧洲中心(2014年6月至2018年4月)检测子宫内膜异位症和/或子宫腺肌病的情况。
这项前瞻性、非干预性研究评估了54种基于血液的生物标志物免疫测定法在919名怀疑患有子宫内膜异位症和/或子宫腺肌病的女性(年龄18 - 45岁)与有症状对照者样本中的诊断准确性。子宫内膜异位症根据修订的美国生殖医学协会分期进行分层。有症状对照者为“病理性有症状对照者”或“无病理有症状对照者”。主要结局指标是受试者工作特征曲线下面积(ROC - AUC)以及针对多重检验校正的Wilcoxon P值(q值)。
在“所有子宫内膜异位症病例”与“所有有症状对照者”对比中,CA - 125表现最佳(AUC 0.645,95%置信区间[CI] 0.600 - 0.690,q < 0.001),且随疾病分期升高(P < 0.001)。在“所有子宫内膜异位症病例”与“无病理有症状对照者”对比中,S100 - A12表现最佳(AUC 0.692,95% CI 0.614 - 0.769,q = 0.001),其次是CA - 125(AUC 0.649,95% CI 0.569 - 0.729,q = 0.021)。在“仅子宫腺肌病病例”分别与“有症状对照者”或“无病理有症状对照者”对比中,表现最佳的生物标志物分别是sFRP - 4(AUC 0.615,95% CI 0.551 - 0.678,q = 0.045)和S100 - A12(AUC 0.701,95% CI 0.611 - 0.792,q = 0.004)。
本研究得出结论,所检测的生物标志物均无法高度确定地诊断或排除子宫内膜异位症/子宫腺肌病。
