Résumé
The aim was to evaluate the performance of 2-dimensional (2D) shear-wave elastography from general electric (2D SWE-GE), implemented on the new LOGIQ S8 system, for the noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis, and to identify liver stiffness (LS) cutoff values for predicting different stages of fibrosis using transient elastography (TE) as the control method. We included 179 consecutive subjects, with or without chronic hepatopathies, in whom LS was evaluated in the same session using 2 elastographic techniques: TE (FibroScan, EchoSens) and 2D SWE-GE (LOGIQ S8; GE Healthcare, Chalfont St Giles, United Kingdom). Reliable LS measurements were defined for TE: the median value of 10 measurements with a success rate of 60% or greater and an interquartile range/median ratio (IQR/M) < 0.30; for 2D SWE-GE: the median value of 10 measurements acquired in a homogenous area and IQR/M < 0.30. To discriminate between fibrosis stages by TE, we used the following cutoffs: F2-7; F3-9.5 and F4-12 kPa. Reliable LS measurements were obtained in 97.2% subjects by 2D SWE-GE and in 98.3% by TE (P = 0.72), so that 171 subjects were included for the final analysis. A good correlation was found between the LS values obtained by the 2 methods (r = 0.72, P < 0.0001). The best 2D SWE-GE cutoff value for F ≥ 2 was 6.9 kPa (areas under receiver operating characteristic [AUROC], 0.93; sensitivity, 85.8%; specificity, 90.2%), for F of 3 or greater, it was 8.2 kPa (AUROC, 0.93; sensitivity, 87.5%; specificity, 86.8%) and for F value of 4, it was 9.3 kPa (AUROC, 0.91; sensitivity, 85.7%; specificity, 81.2%). In conclusion, the best 2D SWE-GE (S8) cutoff values for predicting F2, F ≥ 3 and F = 4 were 6.9, 8.2, and 9.3 kPa.
