Abstract
Aim of the study: We aimed to compare the first, second and third trimester APRI (aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index) scores in pregnant women with and without intrahepatic cholestasis (ICH).
Material and methods: In this study, 54 patients diagnosed with ICH and 59 healthy pregnant women admitted to a tertiary care center between 2018 and 2024 were evaluated. APRI scores were compared between the two groups for three trimesters (first, second, and third trimester). The optimal cut-off values of the APRI score for the prediction of ICH were analyzed.
Results: APRI scores were significantly higher in the ICH group in all trimesters (p = 0.028, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). The optimal cut-off value for APRI score to predict ICH in the first, second, and third trimesters was 0.06 (42.6% sensitivity, 83.1% specificity), 0.1 (57.4% sensitivity, 93.2% specificity) and 13 (77.8% sensitivity, 98.3% specificity), respectively.
Conclusions: APRI score was found to be a significant predictor of ICH throughout the entire pregnancy. APRI score seems to be a useful marker in clinical practice to predict ICH.
研究目的:我们的目的是比较有和没有肝内胆汁淤积(ICH)的孕妇在妊娠早期、中期和晚期的APRI(天冬氨酸转氨酶血小板比率指数)评分。材料与方法:本研究对2018年至2024年间在三级保健中心就诊的54例诊断为ICH的患者和59例健康孕妇进行评估。比较两组妊娠3个月(妊娠1、2、3个月)APRI评分。分析了APRI评分预测脑出血的最佳临界值。结果:ICH组APRI评分在各妊娠期均显著高于对照组(p = 0.028, p < 0.001, p < 0.001)。APRI评分预测妊娠早期、中期和晚期脑出血的最佳临界值分别为0.06(敏感性42.6%,特异性83.1%)、0.1(敏感性57.4%,特异性93.2%)和13(敏感性77.8%,特异性98.3%)。结论:APRI评分是整个妊娠期脑出血的重要预测指标。在临床实践中,APRI评分似乎是预测脑出血的有用指标。
