Abstract:
Aims The purpose of this study is to investigate thediagnostic value of SWEfor fibrosis in patients with CHBand the factorsinfluencing the accuracy. Methods From July 2013 to October 2015, 261 patients with CHB were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.All patients received SWE, anthropometry measurement, blood cell count, liver function test and virological indicators measurement. Liver fibrosis was staged from F0 to F4 by METAVIR scorebased onliver biopsy results of 133 CHB patients , while 128 patients were diagnosed as decompensated cirrhosis. Diagnostic accuracyof SWE were evaluated by Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) using liver hepatic pathology and decompensated cirrhosis as gold standards. Logistic model was used to find out confounding factors that influence the accuracy of SWE. Results The Area Under ROC (AUC) for liver stiffness measurement with SWE were 0.891, 0.932 and 0.910 for the diagnosis of significant fibrosis (≥ F2), advanced fibrosis (≥F3) and cirrhosis (F4), respectively. A multifactor logistic regression combined modelwas built and showed that hepatic steatosis will decrease the accuracy of SWE. Conclusion SWE could be a valuable method for the noninvasive liver fibrosis assessment. The accuracy of SWE may be influenced by hepatic steatosis.
