ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIM:
Ultrasound has increased the detection of gallbladder polyps, but it has limitations in evaluating the nature of gallbladder polyps, especially the maximum size of 1.0 to 1.5 cm. We assessed the value of ultrasound scoring system based on independent predictive parameters in distinguishing adenomatous polyps from cholesterol polyps with the maximum size of 1.0 to 1.5 cm. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We enrolled 163 patients with gallbladder polyps (1.0 to 1.5 cm) who underwent ultrasonography and cholecystectomy. Ultrasound image characteristics were compared between cholesterol polyps and adenomatous polyps in the training cohort from April 2018 to January 2020. An ultrasound scoring system was constructed in the training cohort, and its diagnostic performance was evaluated in the validation cohort from February 2020 to February 2021.RESULTS:
Maximum size, height/width ratio, stone or sludge, vascularity, and hyperechoic spot were significantly different between cholesterol polyps and adenomatous polyps in the training cohort ( P <0.05). The independent predictive parameters for adenomatous polyps were lower height/width ratio, presence of vascularity and absence of hyperechoic spot. The total score was as follows (height/width ratio, <0.9=4, ≥0.9=0) + (vascularity, present=3, absent=0) + (hyperechoic spot, absent=2, present=0). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of ultrasound scoring system ≥5 for diagnosis of adenomatous polyps in the validation cohort were 73.33%, 80.49%, and 78.57%, respectively.CONCLUSIONS:
The ultrasound scoring system aids in distinguishing adenomatous polyps from cholesterol polyps, and effectively decreasing unnecessary cholecystectomy.
