🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the performances of several noninvasive indirect biochemical markers used to detect advanced fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Materials and Methods: This study was retrospectively conducted in two centers, and included treatment-naive CHB patients undergoing liver needle biopsies.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The following noninvasive biochemical markers were used: the aspartate aminotransferase to platelets ratio index (APRI), Fibrosis 4 (FIB-4) index, Goteborg University Cirrhosis index (GUCI), King’s score, FibroQ score, aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase ratio (AAR), Cirrhosis Discriminant Score (CDS) Bonacini, and age-platelet (AP) index.
💡

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the performances of several noninvasive indirect biochemical markers used to detect advanced fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Materials and Methods: This study was retrospectively conducted in two centers, and included treatment-naive CHB patients undergoing liver needle biopsies. The following noninvasive biochemical markers were used: the aspartate aminotransferase to platelets ratio index (APRI), Fibrosis 4 (FIB-4) index, Goteborg University Cirrhosis index (GUCI), King’s score, FibroQ score, aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase ratio (AAR), Cirrhosis Discriminant Score (CDS) Bonacini, and age-platelet (AP) index. Results: This study included a total of 255 patients (79.6% males), with a median age of 27 years . The AAR did not show a significant difference in predicting severe fibrosis according to the area under the curve (AUC) and p values (AUC=0.493, p=0.887) of the non-invasive methods. Overall, the APRI, FIB-4, GUCI, and King’ score were more effective (all p values <0.001; AUC values: 0.787, 0.768, 0.775, and 0.807; respectively). Conclusion: In our study group, the highest AUC and positive likelihood ratio (LR+) values were found using King’s score. Therefore, King’s score seems to be more selective in the classification of patients with severe fibrosis among CHB patients, because of its higher correct predictive value

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada kronik hepatit B'li (KHB) hastalarda ileri dönem fibrozisi tespit etmede kullanılan bazı non-invaziv indirekt biyokimyasal belirteçlerin performanslarının karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma retrospektif olarak iki merkezde gerçekleştirilmiştir ve karaciğer iğne biyopsisi yapılan, naiv, KHB hastaları dahil edilmiştir. Non-invaziv biyokimyasal belirteçlerden aspartat aminotransaminaz - Platelet Ratio Index (APRI), Fibrosis 4 (FIB-4) Index, Goteborg University Cirrhosis Index (GUCI), King skoru, FibroQ skoru, aspartat aminotransaminaz - alanin aminotransaminaz ratio (AAR), Cirrhosis Discriminate Score (CDS) Bonacini, age-platelet (AP) index kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya %79,6'sı erkek olmak üzere 255 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Yaş ortanca değeri 27 yıl olarak hesaplanmıştır. Non-invaziv yöntemlerin eğri altında kalan alan (AUC) ve p değerlerine göre AAR'nin şiddetli fibrosisi belirlemede anlamlı fark oluşturmadığı (AUC=0,493, p=0,887), APRI, FIB-4, GUCI ve King metodlarının diğerlerinden daha etkili yöntemler olduğu saptanmıştır (p değerleri hepsinde <0,001; sırasıyla, AUC değerleri: 0,787, 0,768, 0,775, 0,807). Sonuç: Çalışma grubumuzda King skoru ile en yüksek AUC ve pozitif likelihood ratio (LR+) elde edilmiştir. Doğru tahmin değerinin daha yüksek olması nedeniyle KHB hastalarında King skorunun şiddetli fibrozis hastalarını sınıflandırmada daha seçici olduğu söylenebilir
