Ultrasound-estimated hepatorenal index: diagnostic performance and interobserver agreement for pediatric liver fat quantification.
Background: Semiquantitative and quantitative sonographic techniques have the potential for screening and surveillance of children at risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Objective: To determine diagnostic performance and interobserver agreement of hepatorenal index (HRI) for pediatric ultrasound-based liver fat quantification.
Materials and methods: In an institutional review board (IRB)-approved retrospective study (April 2014 to April 2023), children (< 18 years) with clinically performed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for liver fat quantification were assessed. Inclusion criteria required availability of abdominal ultrasound within 3 months of quantitative MRI. Three blinded readers subjectively assessed for sonographic hepatic steatosis and calculated HRI. MRI proton density fat fraction (PDFF) was the reference standard. Interobserver agreement, correlation with PDFF, and optimal HRI (using ROC analysis) values were analyzed. The significance level was set at p < 0.05.
Results: A total of 41 patients (25 male) with median (interquartile range (IQR)) age of 13 (10-15) years were included. Median (IQR) MRI PDFF was 11.30% (2.70-17.95%). Hepatic steatosis distribution by MRI PDFF included grade 0 (34%), grade 1 (15%), grade 2 (22%), and grade 3 (29%) patients. Intraclass correlation coefficient for HRI among the three readers was 0.61 (95% CI 0.43-0.75) (p < 0.001). Moderate correlation was observed between manually estimated HRI and PDFF for each reader (r = 0.62, 0.67, and 0.67; p < 0.001). Optimal HRI cutoff was found to be 1.99 to diagnose hepatic steatosis (sensitivity 89%, specificity 93%). Median (IQR) HRI for each MRI grade of hepatic steatosis (0-4) was as follows: 1.2 (1.1-1.5), 2.6 (1.1-3.3), 3.6 (2.6-5.4), 5.6 (2.6-10.9), respectively (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Ultrasound-estimated HRI has moderate interobserver agreement and moderate correlation with MRI-derived PDFF. HRI of 1.99 maximizes accuracy for identifying pediatric liver fat.
期刊介绍：
Official Journal of the European Society of Pediatric Radiology, the Society for Pediatric Radiology and the Asian and Oceanic Society for Pediatric Radiology
Pediatric Radiology informs its readers of new findings and progress in all areas of pediatric imaging and in related fields. This is achieved by a blend of original papers, complemented by reviews that set out the present state of knowledge in a particular area of the specialty or summarize specific topics in which discussion has led to clear conclusions. Advances in technology, methodology, apparatus and auxiliary equipment are presented, and modifications of standard techniques are described.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
