Цель. Изучить эффективность использования транзиентной эластографии с контролируемой вибрацией (VCTE) с контролируемым параметром затухания (CAP) в популяции пациентов с неалкогольной жировой болезнью печени (НАЖБП). Материалы и методы. Проведен ретроспективный анализ базы данных пациентов с НАЖБП, сформированной в период с 2021 по 2023 г. Оценка VCTE с CAP проводилась при помощи двух эластографов – FibroScan 530® и FibroScan 630 Expert®. Оценивались данные ультразвукового исследования (УЗИ) печени, показатели биохимического анализа крови, липидного и углеводного обмена, вычислялись индексы HSI, FLI, проведена оценка риска НАЖБП согласно шкалам BAAT и NAFLD-LFS. Результаты. Конечном анализу оказались доступны данные 1081 пациента (385 – в группе простого стеатоза, 274 – в группе неалкогольного стеатогепатита, 422 – контрольная группа). Чувствительность и специфичность УЗИ для диагностики стеатоза печени составили 94,6 и 63,7% соответственно по сравнению с VCTE с CAP. Диагностика стеатоза печени при помощи индексов и шкал показала чувствительность и специфичность HSI: 97,9 и 60,1% (AUROC 0,90), FLI: 92,5 и 85,3% (AUROC 0,93), BAAT: 76,6 и 73,5% (AUROC 0,82), NAFLD-LFS: 56,7 и 81,8% (AUROC 0,85). Заключение. Подтверждена высокая чувствительность УЗИ в диагностике стеатоза печени, однако его специфичность оказалась низкой по сравнению с VCTE с CAP. Из изученных в исследовании индексов и шкал наилучшими показателями чувствительности и специфичности в отношении диагностики стеатоза печени обладал индекс HSI. Комбинация УЗИ печени и индекса HSI может быть использована для первичного скрининга стеатоза печени, однако для формирования диагноза необходимо использование более точных методов, сочетающих в себе диагностику как стеатоза, так и фиброза печени.
Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) with a controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) in a population of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)and to compare to US and different non-invasive indices. Materials and methods. Single center NAFLD patients’ database of 2021–2023 years was retrospectively analysed. Data of VCTE evaluation with CAP (FibroScan 530® and FibroScan 630 Expert®) as well as liver US examination results and values of HSI, FLI, BAAT and NAFLD-LFS were extracted. AUROCs for all methods used were constructed and sensitivity and specificity analysis was performed. Results. The data of 1081 patients were available for analysis (385 with steatosis, 274 with NASH, 422 without NAFLD as a control). Ultrasound examination in the diagnosis of liver steatosis compared to VCTE with CAP showed sensitivity and specificity of 94.6 and 63.7%, respectively. Diagnosis of liver steatosis using indices and scales showed sensitivity and specificity of HSI: 97.9 and 60.1% (AUROC 0.90), FLI: 92.5 and 85.3% (AUROC 0.93), BAAT: 76.6 and 73.5% (AUROC 0.82), NAFLD-LFS: 56.7 and 81.8% (AUROC 0.85). Conclusion. The sensitivity of the US of the liver was consistent with previous studies, but the specificity was low. The HSI index had the best indicators of sensitivity and specificity in relation to the diagnosis of liver steatosis. Combination of liver US and HSI can be used in screening of liver steatosis, however, for the complete diagnosis better tools which can simultaneously evaluate liver steatosis and fibrosis should be used.
