Minimal hepatic encephalopathy(MHE) is an early stage of hepatic encephalopathy with an insidious onset and a high rate of missed diagnosis in clinical practice, and it is of great importance to diagnose MHE as early as possible and provide effective clinical intervention. There are many diagnostic methods for MHE, among which psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score is the most commonly used method at present, but its wide application in clinical practice is limited by its complex and time-consuming operation, and therefore, it is urgent to find a simple, rapid, and effective clinical diagnostic method. Stroop test is a test for psychomotor speed and cognitive flexibility, and its value in the diagnosis of MHE has been verified in various countries including the United States and South Korea. This article introduces the development of Stroop test and its application in MHE, and the analysis shows that Stroop test based on mobile devices has a high sensitivity in the diagnosis of MHE and is simple, convenient, and feasible. It is hoped that this test can be widely used in the clinical work of MHE screening in China in the future.
应用3种方法分别对西药肝损伤和中药肝损伤2组病例进行诊断,结果见表 3。与其他2种方法相比,IEC对于西药肝损伤和中药肝损伤的临床诊断率均介于两者之间,此方法下西药肝损伤和中药肝损伤的构成比分别为23.2%和30.8%。将3种诊断方法进行一致性检验,结果显示,在诊断西药肝损伤病例时,除IEC与SEOP评价结果存在一致性外(Kappa=0.785,P<0.05),RUCAM vs IEC(Kappa=0.149,P>0.05) 和RUCAM vs SEOP(Kappa=0.117,P>0.05)的一致性评定结果均较差。进一步评定3种方法诊断中药肝损伤的一致性情况,发现RUCAM vs SEOP(Kappa=0.066,P>0.05)的一致性评定结果较差,而RUCAM vs IEC(Kappa=0.026,P<0.05)和IEC vs SEOP(Kappa=0.437,P<0.05)评价结果存在一致性。
