摘要:
目的 探讨佳能二维超声剪切波弹性成像(SWE)及频散成像(SWD)在诊断代偿期肝硬化高风险食管胃静脉曲张中的临床价值。 方法 选取2020年2月—2021年2月就诊于天津市第三中心医院接受电子胃镜检查的各种病因代偿期肝硬化患者58例,采用佳能Aplio i800彩色超声仪同期检查肝脏SWE及SWD。以胃镜结果将患者分为高风险食管胃静脉曲张(HREGV)组(n=22)及非高风险食管胃静脉曲张(NHREGV)组(n=36)。正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用独立样本t检验,非正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用Mann-Whitney U非参数检验。计数资料两组间比较采用χ2检验。采用多因素logistic回归分析筛选预测肝硬化高风险食管胃静脉曲张的无创指标。采用受试者工作特征曲线分析肝脏SWD及SWE对高风险食管静脉曲张的临床诊断价值。 结果 HREGV组与NHREGV组相比,SWD(t=-3.84,P<0.001)、病因(χ2=9.67,P=0.022)、TBil(Z=-2.00,P=0.045)脾脏直径(t=-2.44,P=0.018)、门静脉直径(Z=-1.96, P=0.005)差异均有统计学意义。代偿期肝硬化患者肝脏SWD平均(15.17±2.45) m·s-1·kHz-1,其中HREGV组肝脏SWD为(16.59±2.66)m·s-1·kHz-1,显著高于NHREGV组的(14.31±1.86) m·s-1·kHz-1(t=-3.84,P<0.001);HREGV组与NHREGV组的SWE差异无统计学意义(Z=-1.21, P=0.223)。SWD为代偿期肝硬化患者发生HREGV的独立危险因素(OR=1.67,95%CI:1.17~2.39,P=0.005)。SWD诊断HREGV的曲线下面积(AUC)为0.786,最佳临界值为15.35 m·s-1·kHz-1,特异度80.56%,敏感度81.82%;SWE诊断HREGV的AUC为0.596,特异度52.78%,敏感度68.18%,最佳临界值为9.25 kPa。 结论 佳能Aplio i800彩色超声测定的SWD有望作为一种新的无创检测方法,在一定程度上预测代偿期肝硬化患者HREGV的存在,SWE则诊断价值有限。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical value of Canon two-dimensional ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) and shear wave dispersion (SWD) in the diagnosis of high-risk esophageal and gastric varices in compensated cirrhosis. Methods A total of 58 patients with compensated cirrhosis of various etiologies who received electronic gastroscopy in Tianjin Third Central Hospital from February 2020 to February 2021, and Canon Aplio i800 color ultrasound instrument was used to perform SWE and SWD of the liver. According to the results of gastroscopy, the patients were divided into high-risk esophageal and gastric varices group (HREGV group) with 22 patients and non-high-risk esophageal and gastric varices group (NHREGV group) with 36 patients. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze and screen out the noninvasive indicators for predicting high-risk esophageal and gastric varices, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the clinical value of liver SWD and SWE in the diagnosis of high-risk esophageal and gastric varices. Results There were significant differences between the HREGV group and the NHREGV group in SWD (t=-3.84, P < 0.001), etiology (χ2=9.67, P=0.022), total bilirubin (Z=-2.00, P=0.045), spleen diameter (t=-2.44, P=0.018), and portal vein diameter (Z=-1.96, P=0.005). The patients with compensated cirrhosis had a mean liver SWD of 15.17±2.45 m·s-1·kHz-1, and the HREGV group had a significantly higher liver SWD than the NHREGV group (16.59±2.66 m·s-1·kHz-1 vs 14.31±1.86 m·s-1·kHz-1, t=-3.84, P < 0.001), while there was no significant difference in SWE between the two groups (Z=-1.21, P=0.223). SWD was an independent risk factor for high-risk esophageal and gastric varices in patients with compensated liver cirrhosis (odds ratio=1.67, 95% confidence interval: 1.17-2.39, P=0.005). In the diagnosis of high-risk esophageal and gastric varices, SWD had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.786, with a specificity of 80.56% and a sensitivity of 81.82% at the optimal cut-off value of 15.35 m·s-1·kHz-1; SWE had an AUC of 0.596, with a specificity of 52.78% and a sensitivity of 68.18% at the optimal cut-off value of 9.25 kPa. Conclusion Liver SWD measured by Canon Aplio i800 color ultrasound is excepted to become a new noninvasive method to predict the presence of high-risk esophageal and gastric varices in patients with compensated cirrhosis, while SWE has a limited diagnostic value. -
