Correlation between a New Point-Shear Wave Elastography Device (X+pSWE) with Liver Histology and 2D-SWE (SSI) for Liver Stiffness Quantification in Chronic Liver Disease

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility, the correlation with previously validated 2D-SWE by supersonic imagine (SSI), and the accuracy in fibrosis-staging of a novel point shear-wave elastography device (X+pSWE) in patients with chronic liver disease. Methods: This pros...

description Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility, the correlation with previously validated 2D-SWE by supersonic imagine (SSI), and the accuracy in fibrosis-staging of a novel point shear-wave elastography device (X+pSWE) in patients with chronic liver disease. Methods: This prospective study included 253 patients with chronic liver diseases, without comorbidities potentially affecting liver stiffness. All patients underwent X+pSWE and 2D-SWE with SSI. Among them 122 patients also underwent liver biopsy and were classified according to histologic fibrosis. Agreement between the equipment was assessed with Pearson coefficient and Bland–Altman analysis, while receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis with Youden index was used to establish thresholds for fibrosis staging. Results: A very good correlation was found between X+pSWE and 2D-SWE with SSI (r2 = 0.94; p < 0.001), with X+pSWE average liver stiffness values 0.24 kPa lower than those obtained with SSI. AUROC of X+pSWE for the staging of significant fibrosis (F2), severe fibrosis (F3) and cirrhosis (F4) using SSI as a reference standard was 0.96 (95% CI, 0.93–0.99), 0.98 (95% CI, 0.97–1) and 0.99 (95% CI, 0.98–1), respectively. The best cut-off values for diagnosing fibrosis ≥F2, ≥F3 and F4 were, respectively, 6.9, 8.5 and 12 for X+pSWE. According to histologic classification, X+pSWE correctly identified 93 out of 113 patients (82%) for F ≥ 2 and 101 out of 113 patients (89%) for F ≥ 3 using the aforementioned cut-off values. Conclusion: X+pSWE is a useful novel non-invasive technique for staging liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease.
