Cirrhosis changes the prognosis of the subject with hepatitis C and requires a different clinical management. This study aimed to identify clinical and laboratory variables associated with the diagnosis of cirrhosis in the ultrasonography of patients infected with hepatitis C. In a case-control study, we evaluated 70 cirrhotic patients with chronic hepatitis C compared to a control group of 70 non-cirrhotic people with positive HCV. The results showed, through logistic regression analysis, that the variables blood donor and professional athlete, adjusted for alcohol consumption, showed OR 0.24 and 0.18, with p values of 0.044 and 0.035, respectively. We conclude that the diagnosis of cirrhosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C remains challenging, but the patients with the condition of blood donor or professional athlete prove to be less likely to cirrhosis in ultrasonography in the initial consultation.展开更多

The disease group was further divided into S1-S4 according to the degree of fibrosis. Independent risk factors for hepatic fibrosis were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. The diagnostic values of hepatic fibrosis from different indicators were compared using receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves. The combination of elastography and serological indexes was explored to assess the severity of hepatic fibrosis.RESULTS The multivariate logistic regression analysis results revealed that shear wave velocity(SWV), hyaluronic acid(HA), type Ⅳ collagen(CⅣ) and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index(APRI) significantly affected the occurrence of hepatic fibrosis. The ROC curve revealed that the accuracy of the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis for SWV and HA were 87.3% and 84.8%, respectively. The accuracy of SWV combined with HA was 88.9%. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that SWV, aspartate aminotransferase(AST)/alanine aminotransferase(ALT), HA, CⅣ, APRI and fibrosis index based on the 4 factor(FIB-4) were screened as statistically significant independent factors. The established regression equation was: Fibrosis level =-4.046 + 1.024 × SWV + 1.170 × AST/ALT + 0.011 × HA + 0.020 × CⅣ + 0.719 × APRI + 0.379 × FIB-4. CONCLUSION SWV combined with serological indexes can improve the accuracy of diagnosis for CHB hepatic fibrosis. Serum indexes can help diagnose the degree of hepatic fibrosis.展开更多
