Abstract:
Objective To compare different noninvasive models in diagnosis of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods A total of 838 CHB patients admitted in Shenyang Sixth People’ s Hospital during March 2003 and October 2013 were enrolled in the study.All the patients received liver biopsy, blood and ultrasound examinations; the AST-to-ALT ratio ( AAR), AST to platelet ratio index ( APRI) , age platelet index ( API) , cirrhosis discriminant score ( CDS) , spleen to platelet ratio index ( SPRI) and age-spleen to platelet ratio index ( ASPRI) were obtained.Area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was used to assess the clinical value of noninvasive models in diagnosis of significant liver fibrosis (S2-4), advanced liver fibrosis (S3-4) and early liver cirrhosis (S4).Results Among six noninvasive models, APRI had the lowest value of AUROCs ( <0.7), while ASPRI had the highest AUROCs value in diagnosis of liver fibrosis.The AUROCs of ASPRI in diagnosing significant liver fibrosis, advanced liver fibrosis and early liver cirrhosis were 0.861, 0.873 and 0.881 with the sensitivities of 69.4%, 76.9%and 87.0%, the specificities of 87.9%, 81.5% and 75.8%, the positive predictive values of 90.9%, 74.9%and 46.1%and the negative predictive values of 62.2%, 83.1%and 96.1%, respectively.Taking<5.2 and≥9.7 as the cut-off values for exclude significant liver fibrosis and diagnosis of significant liver fibrosis, respectively, 49.4%(414/838) of the patients may avoid liver biopsy with an accuracy of 92.3%(382/414).Conclusion ASPRI is of value in diagnosing significant liver fibrosis and early liver cirrhosis in patient with chronic hepatitis B, and the number of liver biopsy can be reduced.
