摘要:
目的 应用剪切波弹性成像技术(SWE)对晚孕女性会阴体组织进行定量测量,分析其评估会阴体弹性的效能, 探讨其在阴道分娩临床会阴评估中的应用价值。 方法 采用前瞻性研究设计,便利抽样选取2022年3月—2023年11月在安徽医科大学第一附属医院进行产前检查符合纳入标准的197例晚孕女性,采用剪切波弹性成像技术测量其会阴体弹性。随诊其分娩结局并收集阴道分娩产妇临床会阴评估指标数据,剔除产钳助产、第二产程延长和急性胎儿窘迫病例后,以阴道分娩时是否行会阴切开将观察对象分为会阴切开组(53例)和非会阴切开组(50例),比较2组的会阴评估指标。以会阴切开为因变量,进行logistic回归分析,构建联合预测模型,绘制ROC曲线,分析SWE测量数据对会阴切开的预测价值。 结果 会阴切开组与非会阴切开组临床会阴评估指标中会阴体弹性差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。2组SWE测量结果中Max、Min和Mean值比较差异均有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。采用Mean值、弹性及两者联合3种方法评估会阴是否需要切开的AUC(95% CI)分别为0.647(0.538~0.756)、0.796(0.705~0.887)、0.829(0.749~0.908),灵敏度分别为0.904、0.904、0.885,特异度分别为0.674、0.630、0.674,约登指数分别为0.230、0.534、0.559,Mean联合弹性的预测效能优于单独预测。 结论 临床会阴体弹性评估联合SWE测量可提供更加准确的评估效能,显示出良好的应用前景。 Abstract:Objective To employ shear wave elastography (SWE) technology to quantitatively measure the perineal body tissue in late-pregnant women, analyze its efficacy in assessing perineal body elasticity, and explore its application value in the clinical perineal assessment for vaginal delivery. Methods A prospective study design was employed. Convenience sampling was employed to select 197 late-pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria and underwent prenatal examinations at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from March 2022 to November 2023. SWE was used to measure perineal body elasticity. Their delivery outcomes were followed up, and clinical perineal assessment indicators were collected for those who underwent vaginal delivery. After excluding cases involving forceps-assisted delivery, prolonged second stage of labor, and acute fetal distress, participants were categorized into an episiotomy group (53 cases) and a non-episiotomy group (50 cases) based on whether an episiotomy was performed during vaginal delivery. The perineal assessment indicators were compared between the two groups. Using episiotomy as the dependent variable, logistic regression was performed, a combined prediction model was constructed, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to analyze the predictive value of SWE measurements for episiotomy. Results Among the clinical perineal assessment parameters, perineal body elasticity showed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) between the episiotomy and non-episiotomy groups. There were statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) in the Max, Min, and Mean values of SWE measurements between the two groups. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC, 95% CI) for predicting the necessity of episiotomy using SWE Mean value, clinical elasticity assessment, and their combination were 0.647 (0.538-0.756), 0.796 (0.705-0.887), and 0.829 (0.749-0.908), respectively. The corresponding sensitivities were 0.904, 0.904, and 0.885; specificities were 0.674, 0.630, and 0.674; and Youden indices were 0.230, 0.534, and 0.559. The predictive efficacy of the Mean value combined with clinical elasticity was superior to that of either clinical elasticity or the Mean value alone. Conclusion Clinical perineal body elasticity assessment in combination with SWE measurement offers enhanced assessment accuracy and shows favorable application prospects. -
