Abstract

Objective: To establish a nomogram for predicting cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) based on the preoperative conventional ultrasound (US) and shear wave velocity (SWV) features of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Methods: A total of 101 patients with pathologically confirmed thyroid nodules were enrolled. These patients were divided into the CLNM-positive (n = 40) and CLNM-negative groups (n = 61). All patients underwent the preoperative conventional US and shear wave elastography (SWE) evaluation, and the US parameters and SWV data were collected. The association between SWV ratio and CLNM was compared to assess the diagnostic efficacy of SWV ratio alone as opposed to SWV ratio in combination with the conventional US for predicting CLNM.

Results: There were significant differences in shape, microcalcification, capsule contact, SWV mean, and SWV ratio between the CLNM-positive and CLNM-negative groups (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that taller-than-wide shape, microcalcification, capsule contact, and SWV ratio > 1.3 were risk factors for CLNM; Logistic(P)=-6.93 + 1.647 * (microcalcification)+1.138 * (taller-than-wide-shape)+1.612 * (capsule contact)+2.933 * (SWV ratio > 1.3). The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of the model for CLNM prediction was 0.87, with 81.19% accuracy, 77.5% sensitivity, and 85.25% specificity.

Conclusion: The nomogram based on conventional US imaging in combination with SWV ratio has the potential for preoperative CLNM risk assessment. This nomogram serves as a useful clinical tool for active surveillance and treatment decisions.

基于术前常规超声和横波速度的图预测甲状腺乳头状癌中央淋巴结转移。

目的:建立基于术前常规超声(US)和甲状腺乳头状癌(PTC)横波速度(SWV)特征预测颈部淋巴结转移(CLNM)的nomogram。方法:入选101例经病理证实的甲状腺结节患者。将患者分为clnm阳性组(n = 40)和clnm阴性组(n = 61)。所有患者术前均行常规超声和横波弹性成像(SWE)评估，收集超声参数和SWV数据。比较SWV比与CLNM之间的关系，以评估单独SWV比与常规US相结合的SWV比预测CLNM的诊断效果。结果:CLNM阳性组与阴性组在形状、微钙化、被囊接触、SWV均值、SWV比值方面存在显著差异(P < 1.3为CLNM的危险因素;Logistic(P)=-6.93 + 1.647 *(微钙化)+1.138 *(高宽型)+1.612 *(包膜接触)+2.933 * (SWV比> 1.3)。该模型预测CLNM的受试者工作特征曲线下面积(AUC)为0.87，准确率为81.19%，灵敏度为77.5%，特异性为85.25%。结论:基于常规超声成像的nomogram联合SWV ratio对术前CLNM的风险评估具有一定的价值。这张nomogram图是一种有用的临床工具，用于主动监测和治疗决策。

期刊介绍： Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, a peer-reviewed international scientific journal, serves as an aid to understanding the flow properties of blood and the relationship to normal and abnormal physiology. The rapidly expanding science of hemorheology concerns blood, its components and the blood vessels with which blood interacts. It includes perihemorheology, i.e., the rheology of fluid and structures in the perivascular and interstitial spaces as well as the lymphatic system. The clinical aspects include pathogenesis, symptomatology and diagnostic methods, and the fields of prophylaxis and therapy in all branches of medicine and surgery, pharmacology and drug research. The endeavour of the Editors-in-Chief and publishers of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation is to bring together contributions from those working in various fields related to blood flow all over the world. The editors of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation are from those countries in Europe, Asia, Australia and America where appreciable work in clinical hemorheology and microcirculation is being carried out. Each editor takes responsibility to decide on the acceptance of a manuscript. He is required to have the manuscript appraised by two referees and may be one of them himself. The executive editorial office, to which the manuscripts have been submitted, is responsible for rapid handling of the reviewing process. Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation accepts original papers, brief communications, mini-reports and letters to the Editors-in-Chief. Review articles, providing general views and new insights into related subjects, are regularly invited by the Editors-in-Chief. Proceedings of international and national conferences on clinical hemorheology (in original form or as abstracts) complete the range of editorial features.
