[Predictive value of dynamic enhanced MR synovial wash in rate in progression to rheumatoid arthritis in patients with undifferentiated arthritis].
Zhonghua Yi Xue za Zhi [Chinese medical journal] 2016 November 9
Objective: To investigate the predictive value of dynamic enhanced MR synovial wash in rate (WASHIN) in progression to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients with undifferentiated arthritis (UA). Methods: The data of dynamic enhanced MR synovial WASHIN and C- reactive protein (CRP) of 33 patients with UA were analyzed between October 2014 and January 2016 from Tianjin First Center Hospital, so as to evaluate the correlation between the two indicators. According to the value of CRP, the patients were divided into two groups, the CRP>8 mg/L for CRP positive group (18 cases), CRP≤8 mg/L for CRP negative group (15 cases). Ranked sum test was used to compare the difference of WASHIN between two groups. The ROC curve analysis was carried out to test the diagnostic power of WASHIN. Results: In 33 patients with UA, the correlation between WASHIN and CRP was positive, r =0.767, P <0.01; as for the WASHIN, there was significant difference between CRP positive group(49.51±19.79)/s and CRP negative group(19.90±14.51)/s ( P <0.01). 9 cases were clinically diagnosed with RA during follow-up, of which 8 cases for CRP positive group and 1 case for CRP negative group. The biggest area under the ROC curve of synovial WASHIN was 0.944, the biggest Youden index was 0.85, sensitivity was 100.0%, specificity was 87.5%. 2 cases were clinically diagnosed with osteoarthrosis during follow-up, synovial WASHIN respectively of 18.42 and 21.48 /s. Conclusion: Synovial WASHIN can improve the sensitivity and specificity to predict the prognosis from UA to RA, and can provide certain guiding significance for clinical work.
