Abstract
AIM:
To investigate the value of ultrasound elastography combined with serological indexes in diagnosing liver fibrosis and assessing its severity.
METHODS:
A total of 338 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients were divided into a disease group (patients with hepatic fibrosis) and control group (subjects without hepatic fibrosis). The disease group was further divided into S1-S4 according to the degree of fibrosis. Independent risk factors for hepatic fibrosis were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. The diagnostic values of hepatic fibrosis from different indicators were compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The combination of elastography and serological indexes was explored to assess the severity of hepatic fibrosis.
RESULTS:
The multivariate logistic regression analysis results revealed that shear wave velocity (SWV), hyaluronic acid (HA), type IV collagen (CIV) and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) significantly affected the occurrence of hepatic fibrosis. The ROC curve revealed that the accuracy of the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis for SWV and HA were 87.3% and 84.8%, respectively. The accuracy of SWV combined with HA was 88.9%. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that SWV, aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT), HA, CIV, APRI and fibrosis index based on the 4 factor (FIB-4) were screened as statistically significant independent factors. The established regression equation was: Fibrosis level = -4.046 + 1.024 × SWV + 1.170 × AST/ALT + 0.011 × HA + 0.020 × CIV + 0.719 × APRI + 0.379 × FIB-4.
CONCLUSION:
SWV combined with serological indexes can improve the accuracy of diagnosis for CHB hepatic fibrosis. Serum indexes can help diagnose the degree of hepatic fibrosis.
