Abstract:
Objective To campare the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) and International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) simple rules in the differential diagnosis of adnexal tumors . Methods For the 101 suspicious malignant adnexal tumors discovered by conventional ultrasound ,IOTA simple rules and CEUS were performed before operation . Tumors were divided into benign ,uncertain and malignant according to IOTA simple rules . Tumors were scored by CEUS according to the membrane integrity ,coating thickness uniformity ,separation enhancement ,enhance strength ( no enhancement ,low enhancement ,equal or high enhancement) ,and enhanced performance( uniform and non-uniform) . The ROC curve was drawn with the pathological results as the gold standard ,and the best boundary value was obtained . Finally ,the diagnostic efficiency of the diagnostic methods were analyzed . Results ①According to the ROC curve analysis ,the area under the curve of IOTA simple rules was 0 .757( P ＝0 .000) . When the uncertainty type was classified as benign ,the random index was 0 .41 ,the sensitivity was 61 .54% ,and the specificity was 79 .59% . When the uncertainty type was classified as malignant ,the random index was 0 .31 ,the sensitivity was 96 .15% ,and the specificity was 34 .69% . When the uncertain types were excluded the Youden index was 0 .77 ,the sensitivity was 76 .19% ,and the specificity was 89 .47% . ②The differences in the membrane integrity , coating thickness uniformity , separation enhancement , enhance strength , enhanced performance between benign and malignant tumors were statistically significant( P ＜ 0 .01) . ③According to the ROC curve analysis ,the area under the curve of CEUS was 0 .914( P ＝ 0 .000) ,cut-off value was 3 score . The Youden index ,sensitivity and specificity of evaluating benign and malignant adnexal tumors were 0 .80 ,78 .85% and 91 .84% respectively . ④ The tumors evaluated as benign by IOTA simple rules was classified as benign . The tumors evaluated as malignant by IOTA simple rules were classified as malignant . The tumors evaluated as uncertain by IOTA simple rules and scored less than or equal to 3 points according to CEUS were classified as benign . The tumors evaluated as uncertain by IOTA simple rules and scored more than 3 points according to CEUS were classified as malignant . According to the ROC curve analysis ,the area under the curve of CEUS combined with IOTA simple rules was 0 .831 ( P ＝0 .000) . The Youden index ,sensitivity and specificity in evaluating benign and malignant adnexal tumors were respectively 0 .66 ,86 .54% and 79 .59% respectively . Conclusions CEUS has a higher diagnostic efficiency than IOTA Simple Rules and the two combined in the diagnosis of adnexal tumors .
