ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
We compared the cirrhosis-prediction accuracy of an ultrasonographic scoring system (USSS) combining six representative sonographic indices with that of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography, and prospectively investigated the correlation between the USSS score and LSM in predicting cirrhosis.METHODS:
Two hundred and thirty patients with chronic liver diseases (187 men, 43 women; age, 50.4+/-9.5 y, mean+/-SD) were enrolled in this prospective study. The USSS produces a combined score for nodularity of the liver surface and edge, parenchyma echogenicity, presence of right-lobe atrophy, spleen size, splenic vein diameter, and abnormality of the hepatic vein waveform. The correlations of the USSS score and LSM with that of a pathological liver biopsy (METAVIR scoring system F0-F4) were evaluated.RESULTS:
The mean USSS score and LSM were 7.2 and 38.0 kPa, respectively, in patients with histologically overt cirrhosis (F4, P=0.017) and 4.3 and 22.1 kPa in patients with fibrotic change without overt cirrhosis (F0-F3) (P=0.025). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the USSS score and LSM for F4 patients were 0.849 and 0.729, respectively. On the basis of ROC curves, criteria of USSS > or =6 LSM > or =17.4 had a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of 89.2%77.6%, 69.4%61.4%, 86.5%83.7%, 74.6%51.9% and 0.830.73, respectively, in predicting F4.CONCLUSIONS:
The results indicate that this USSS has comparable efficacy to LSM in the diagnosis of cirrhosis.
