摘要:
目的 探讨二维剪切波弹性成像和血清学模型及其联合应用在慢性乙型肝炎患者肝纤维化分期中的诊断价值。 方法 回顾性分析2020年8月—2022年8月在福建医科大学孟超肝胆医院进行过二维剪切波弹性成像(2D-SWE)与肝组织病理学检查的327例慢性乙型肝炎患者的临床资料,提取患者的性别、年龄、血清学指标和2D-SWE结果,根据肝纤维化程度分为S0~S1组、S≥2组、S≥3组和S=4组,根据血清学指标计算血清学模型。采用Spearman相关分析法对2D-SWE和血清学模型与肝纤维化分期进行相关分析,以肝组织病理结果为标准,绘制受试者工作特征曲线,比较各参数及其联合应用诊断肝纤维化分期的效能,并采用Delong检验比较不同方法间的差异。 结果 2D-SWE检测LSM值与肝纤维化分期呈强相关性(r=0.741,P<0.001),血清学模型中除了AAR外的其他6种(APRI、FIB-4、GPR、GP、RPR、S指数)与肝纤维化分期均存在正相关(P值均<0.001)。2D-SWE诊断S≥2、S≥3和S=4肝纤维化的AUC值分别为0.878、0.932、0.942,显著高于血清学模型(P值均<0.001),其最佳截断值分别为6.9 kPa、7.9 kPa、9.4 kPa。血清学模型中APRI在诊断S≥2、S=4的AUC值最高(0.788、0.875),S指数在诊断S≥3的AUC值最高(0.846)。在诊断S≥2、S≥3、S=4时2D-SWE和APRI联合能将AUC值分别提高到0.887、0.938、0.950,诊断S≥2、S≥3、S=4时2D-SWE和S指数联合诊断的AUC值分别为0.879、0.935、0.941;但单独使用2D-SWE与上述联合诊断并无统计学差异(P值均>0.05)。 结论 2D-SWE对肝纤维化分期的诊断效能显著优于7种血清学模型;血清学模型具有一定的诊断价值,其中APRI、S指数的价值较高;单独使用2D-SWE与指标联合并无明显差异,联合并不能显著提高诊断效能,新的联合诊断方法仍有待探索。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the value of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) or serological models used alone or in combination in determining the stage of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 327 patients with chronic hepatitis B who were admitted to Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital of Fujian Medical University from August 2020 to August 2022 and underwent 2D-SWE and liver histopathological examination, including sex, age, serological markers, and 2D-SWE results. According to the degree of liver fibrosis, they were divided into S0-S1, S≥2, S≥3, and S=4 groups, and the serological models were calculated based on serological markers. A Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of 2D-SWE and serological models with liver fibrosis stage; the receiver operating characteristic curve was plotted with the results of liver histopathology as the standard to compare the efficiency of each parameter used alone or in combination in determining the stage of liver fibrosis; the Delong test was used to investigate the difference between different methods. Results Liver stiffness measurement measured by 2D-SWE was strongly correlated with the stage of liver fibrosis (r=0.741, P<0.001), and as for the serological model, six markers (APRI, FIB-4, GPR, GP, RPR, and S index), other than AAR, were positively correlated with the stage of liver fibrosis (all P<0.001). 2D-SWE had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.878, 0.932, and 0.942, respectively, in the diagnosis of S≥2, S≥3, and S=4 liver fibrosis (all P<0.001), with an optimal cut-off value of 6.9 kPa, 7.9 kPa, and 9.4 kPa, respectively. Among the serological models, APRI had the largest AUC of 0.788 and 0.875, respectively, in the diagnosis of S≥2 and S=4 liver fibrosis, and S index had the largest AUC of 0.846 in the diagnosis of S≥3 liver fibrosis. In the diagnosis of S≥2, S≥3, and S=4 liver fibrosis, 2D-SWE combined with APRI increased the AUC values to 0.887, 0.938, and 0.950, respectively, and 2D-SWE combined with S index increased the AUC values to 0.879, 0.935, and 0.941, respectively, while there were no significant differences between 2D-SWE and the above combinations (P>0.05). Conclusion 2D-SWE has a better diagnostic efficacy than the above seven serological models in determining liver fibrosis stage. The serological models have a certain diagnostic value, among which APRI and S index have a relatively high diagnostic value. There is no significant difference between 2D-SWE and 2D-SWE combined with serological models, and such combinations cannot significantly improve diagnostic efficiency. Therefore, further studies are needed to explore new combinations of diagnostic methods. -
