Diagnostic value of ultrasound elastography in polycystic ovary syndrome
ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound elastography in polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).MethodsForty-two patients with PCOS(PCOS group)and 42 healthy women(control group)were enrolled in the study.Ovarian volume
number of follicles
elastic pattern and strain ratio were measured on the 7 th day of the menstrual cycle
and the difference was compared between the two groups.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between strain ratio
ovarian volume and follicle number.ROC curve was drawn to analyze the diagnostic effect of follicle number
ovarian volume and strain ratio on PCOS.ResultsThe mean ovarian volume of PCOS group was significantly larger than that of the control group[(12.9±3.8)cm
3
vs.(5.6±1.7)cm
3
P
<
0.001].Patients with PCOS showed more follicles than that of health control(18.6±5.2 vs. 8.5±2.6
P
<
0.001).The dominant elasticity pattern of ovarian in PCOS group was type 1
whereas type 3 in the control group
the difference was statistically significant(P
<
0.001). The mean strain ratios was higher in PCOS group when compared with control group(8.4±1.6 vs. 4.5±1.2
P
<
0.001).When the number of follicles was ≥12
the sensitivity of diagnosing PCOS was 85.4%
the specificity was 89.5%
the positive predictive value was 89.1%
and the negative predictive value was86.0%
the area under the curve was 0.959.When the volume of ovary was ≥10 cm
3
the sensitivity of diagnosing PCOS was100%
the specificity was 70.8%
the positive predictive value was 77.4%
and the negative predictive value was 100%
the area under the curve was 0.962.Taken strain ratio was 5.7 as cutoff value
the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosing PCOS were88.1% and 83.3%
respectively
the positive predictive value was 84.1%
the negative predictive value was 87.5%
and the area under the curve was 0.883.Strain ratio was positively correlated with the ovarian volume and the number of follicles
respectively(r=0.565
0.653
both P
<
0.001).ConclusionUltrasound elastography has a good clinical value in the diagnosis of PCOS.
