Clinical significance of ultrasound semi-quantitative score in diagnosis of elderly patients with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis
Objective To explore the clinical value of ultrasound semi-quantitative score in the diagnosis of elderly patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB) and cirrhosis(HBC).Methods Eighty-four cases of elderly patients with CHB were selected.According to the results of liver biopsy
the patients were divided into HBC group(n=49) and non HBC group(n=35).Patients in two groups were examined by ultrasonography.The ultrasound semi-quantitative scores of surface capsule of liver
echo of liver parenchyma
area of spleen
shape of liver margin
clarity of hepatic vein
intrahepatic ligament and gallbladder wall were compared between the two groups.The portal vein diameter
portal blood flow
blood flow velocity were compared between the two groups.The diagnostic value of ultrasound semi-quantitative score in elderly patients with HBC was analyzed.Results The ultrasound semi-quantitative scores of surface capsule of liver
echo of liver parenchyma
area of spleen
shape of liver margin
clarity of hepatic vein
intrahepatic ligament and gallbladder wall in the HBC group were significantly higher than those in non HBC group(all P<0.05).The portal blood flow
blood flow velocity and portal vein diameter in the HBC group were greater than those in non HBC group(all P<0.05).The sensitivity
specificity and accuracy of ultrasound semi-quantitative score in the diagnosis of elderly HBC were 95.92 %
91.43 % and 94.04 %
respectively.Conclusion The ultrasound semi-quantitative score has a high diagnostic value in the diagnosis of elderly patients with HBC and is worthy of clinical application and generalization.
