Abstract

Objectives: To combine sonographic Murphy sign (SMS) with clinical parameters to effectively stratify patients into risk groups for acute cholecystitis.

Methods: Consecutive emergency department patients from April 1, 2019 to August 31, 2022 with possible acute cholecystitis were grouped using patient age, sex, and white blood cell count to determine the rate of acute cholecystitis found in subgroups. Three distinct clinical risk groups were established and then regrouped by prospective assessment of SMS into three non-imaging risk groups. Differences in the rate of acute cholecystitis for clinical parameters, clinical risk groups, and non-imaging risk groups were statistically analyzed.

Results: Of 1231 patients (mean [SD] age, 51.2 [19.5]; 476 [38.7%] male), 156 had acute cholecystitis (mean [SD] age, 62.0 [15.4]; 85 [54.5%] male). Rates differed based on sex (9.4% female vs 17.9% male, P < .001), age group (1.8% for patients <30 years, 9.0% for patients 30-59 years, 22.3% for patients ≥60 years; P < .001), and white blood cell count (23.1% elevated vs 6.6% not elevated; P < .001). The low, average, and high non-imaging risk groups had acute cholecystitis rates of 1.8%, 14.0%, and 43.1%, respectively. Relative risk (95% CI) for the low non-imaging group compared with others was 0.07 (0.04, 0.12; P < .001); relative risk for the high non-imaging risk group compared with others was 7.05 (5.32, 9.43; P < .001).

Conclusions: Sonographic Murphy sign assessment combined with patient age, sex, and white blood cell count effectively stratifies acute care patients into distinct acute cholecystitis risk groups.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine (JUM) is dedicated to the rapid, accurate publication of original articles dealing with all aspects of medical ultrasound, particularly its direct application to patient care but also relevant basic science, advances in instrumentation, and biological effects. The journal is an official publication of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and publishes articles in a variety of categories, including Original Research papers, Review Articles, Pictorial Essays, Technical Innovations, Case Series, Letters to the Editor, and more, from an international bevy of countries in a continual effort to showcase and promote advances in the ultrasound community. Represented through these efforts are a wide variety of disciplines of ultrasound, including, but not limited to: -Basic Science- Breast Ultrasound- Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound- Dermatology- Echocardiography- Elastography- Emergency Medicine- Fetal Echocardiography- Gastrointestinal Ultrasound- General and Abdominal Ultrasound- Genitourinary Ultrasound- Gynecologic Ultrasound- Head and Neck Ultrasound- High Frequency Clinical and Preclinical Imaging- Interventional-Intraoperative Ultrasound- Musculoskeletal Ultrasound- Neurosonology- Obstetric Ultrasound- Ophthalmologic Ultrasound- Pediatric Ultrasound- Point-of-Care Ultrasound- Public Policy- Superficial Structures- Therapeutic Ultrasound- Ultrasound Education- Ultrasound in Global Health- Urologic Ultrasound- Vascular Ultrasound
