Abstract:
Objective To observe the value of nomogram model based on clinical and ultrasonic characteristics for diagnosing lymphoma.Methods Data of 176 patients with suspected lymphoma due to enlarged superficial lymph nodes were retrospective analyzed.The patients were divided into lymphoma group(n=90,invasive subgroup[n=40]and non-invasive subgroup[n=50])or non-lymphoma group(n=86)based on pathological results.Clinical and ultrasonic data were compared between groups and subgroups.Multivariate logistic regression was used to screen the independent risk factors of lymphoma,and then a nomogram was constructed.Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn to evaluate the efficacy of conventional ultrasound,conventional contrast-enhanced ultrasound(C-CEUS),high-frame-rate contrast-enhanced ultrasound(H-CEUS)and nomogram for diagnosing lymphoma.Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age＞59 years,cortical stripe/reticular hyperecho of lymph nodes and"centrifugal firework"enhancement pattern showed with H-CEUS were all independent risk factors of lymphoma(all P＜0.05).Taken 59 years as the best cut-off value of patients'age,the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and the area under the curve(AUC)for diagnosing lymphoma was 67.78%,58.10%,63.06%and 0.630,respectively.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and AUC of cortical stripe/reticular hyperecho of lymph nodes for diagnosing lymphoma was 73.33%,58.10%,65.91%and 0.657,respectively,while of"centrifugal firework"pattern enhancement in H-CEUS was 77.78%,69.80%,73.86%and 0.738,respectively.AUC of conventional ultrasound,C-CEUS,H-CEUS and nomogram for diagnosing lymphoma was 0.657,0.540,0.738 and 0.844,respectively.Conclusion Nomogram model based on clinical and ultrasonic characteristics had good diagnostic efficacy for lymphoma,and"centrifugal firework"pattern enhancement in H-CEUS could be regarded as the specific characteristic of lymphoma.
