摘要
目的探讨基于术前CT图像的影像组学特征对肝细胞癌(肝癌)肝切除术后肝衰竭(PHLF)的预测价值,并建立预测肝癌PHLF的影像组学列线图(nomogram)模型。方法回顾性分析2014年9月至2017年10月在中山大学附属第一医院行半肝切除术的51例肝癌患者临床资料。患者均签署知情同意书,符合医学伦理学规定。其中男44例,女7例;平均年龄(48±12)岁。患者术前均接受增强CT检查,使用A.K.软件进行肝癌影像特征提取。采用单因素Logistic回归分析筛选与PHLF发生相关的影像组学特征和临床变量;将相关的影像组学特征和临床变量纳入多因素分析,得到与PHLF发生相关的独立危险因素。根据独立危险因素,建立预测肝癌PHLF的nomogram模型。结果低密度短域补偿(LISAE)和白蛋白-胆红素(ALBI)评分是PHLF发生的独立影响因素(OR=27.93,15.53;P<0.05)。联合LISAE和ALBI评分预测PHLF的曲线下面积为0.883,明显大于单独ALBI评分的0.700(Z=-2.460,P<0.05)。肝癌预测PHLF的nomogram模型成功建立,校正的一致性系数(C-index)为0.863,标准曲线与校准预测曲线贴合良好,预测值与观察值符合度良好。结论LISAE是肝癌PHLF发生的独立影响因素,能提高临床变量ALBI评分的预测价值;预测PHLF发生的nomogram模型对肝癌发生PHLF有较好预测价值。
Objective To explore the value of preoperative CT image omics features in predicting posthepatectomy liver failure(PHLF) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and to establish an image omics nomogram for predicting PHLF. Methods Clinical data of 51 HCC patients who underwent hemihepatectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from September 2014 to October2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval was received. Among them, 44 patients were male and 7 female, aged(48±12) years on average. All patients underwent enhanced CT scan before operation and the HCC CT-imaging features were extracted by A.K. software. The image omics features and clinical variables related to the occurrence of PHLF were screened by univariate Logistic regression, and were included in multivariate analysis to obtain the independent risk factors for the occurrence of PHLF. The nomogram for predicting PHLF in HCC patients was established according to the independent risk factors. Results Low intensity small area emphasis(LISAE) and albumin-bilirubin(ALBI) score were the independent factors affecting the occurrence of PHLF(OR=27.93, 15.53; P<0.05). The area under the curve for predicting PHLF by LISAE combined with ALBI score was 0.883, significantly larger than the 0.700 of single ALBI score(Z=-2.460, P<0.05). Nomogram for predicting PHLF in HCC patients was successfully established. The corrected consistency index(C-index) was 0.863. The standard curve was well fitted with the calibrated predictive curve, and the predicted value was highly consistent with the observed value. Conclusions LISAE is an independent factor affecting the occurrence of PHLF in HCC patients, which can improve the predictive value of clinical variable ALBI score. The nomogram for predicting PHLF yields high predictive value for PHLF in HCC patients.
