Abstract
Background
To compare the value of adipose tissues in abdomen and lumbar vertebra for predicting Crohn's disease (CD) activity based on chemical shift encoded magnetic resonance imaging (CSE-MRI).
Methods
84 CD patients were divided into remission, mild, and moderate-severely groups based on CD activity index (CDAI). Differences in different adipose parameters [subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), mesenteric fat index (MFI), and bone marrow fat fraction (BMFF)] and blood inflammatory indicators among three groups, as well as the correlation of above parameters and CDAI were analyzed. The areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves (AUCs) for the parameters selected by multivariate logistic regression analysis for predicting active CD were calculated.
Results
There were no significant differences in VAT and MFI among three groups (both P > 0.05). The cross-sectional areas of SAT in moderate-severe group were significantly lower than those in remission group (P = 0.014). BMFF values of remission group were significantly higher than those in the mild and moderate-severe groups (both P < 0.001). BMFF was negatively correlated with CDAI (r = −0.595, P < 0.001). SAT exhibited no significant correlation with CDAI. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and BMFF were the independent predictors of CDAI. Both combined had a higher diagnostic efficacy for active CD with an AUC of 0.895.
Conclusions
BMFF is the best marker for predicting CD activity in fat parameters of abdomen and lumbar vertebra based on CSE-MRI. The model based on BMFF and ESR has a high efficiency in predicting active CD.
