Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the value of enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the assessment of synovial hyperplasia and International Prophylaxis Study Group (IPSG) score of hemophilic arthropathy (HA).Methods:This was a retrospective case series study. Briefly, 54 joints of 46 male patients with hemophilia type A and diagnosed with HA in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from August 2016 to September 2017 were selected. Plain and enhanced MRI were performed at the same time. The IPSG score of synovial hyperplasia and the total joint before and after enhancement were calculated, and the enhancement rate of the synovium and muscles at the same level were also calculated. The differences in synovial hyperplasia and joint total IPSG scores before and after enhancement were compared by paired rank sum test. The correlation between enhancement joint total IPSG score, synovial IPSG score, synovial enhancement rate, total joint bleeding number, course of disease, and Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS) score were analyzed by Spearman′s correlation analysis.Results:Enhanced MRI could more clearly show synovial hyperplasia and ensure better accuracy of joint total IPSG score ( Z=-2.24, P=0.025). The enhancement extent of synovial hyperplasia was higher than that of the same level muscle. There was no correlation between synovial enhancement rate and total number of joint bleeding, course of disease, and HJHS score. After enhancement, the joint total IPSG score was highly positively correlated with the total number of joint bleeding and the disease course ( r=0.96, 0.84, P<0.001) and moderately positively correlated with the HJHS score ( r=0.58, P<0.001). The enhanced synovial IPSG score showed a low positive correlation with the total number of joint bleeding and the disease course ( r=0.37, 0.36, P=0.006, 0.008), but no correlation with HJHS score. Conclusion:Enhanced MRI can provide accurate imaging of synovial hyperplasia of HA and make joint IPSG score more accurate.
