Background
Most of the information available about Legg–Calve–Perthes disease (LCPD) at present is gained through imaging modalities including plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). But the accuracy of MRI in this disease and its predictive value to reveal various intra-articular pathologies is not known. We correlated the findings of MRI with those seen on hip arthroscopy in children with active stage of LCPD.Methods
We conducted a prospective observational study in which MRI findings were correlated with corresponding findings on hip arthroscopy in a cohort of 25 patients of active LCPD below 12 years of age. The parameters noted on MRI included status of ligamentum teres, status of the labrum, synovial effusion if any, condition of the femoral and acetabular articular cartilage including chondral flaps, chondral indentation and intra-articular loose bodies. The indication of performing hip arthroscopy was persistent severe hip pain (Wong–Baker FACES pain scale ≥ 3) after 6 months of conservative management. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for MRI considering arthroscopy as a gold standard.Results
Synovial effusion was seen in a large number of patients on both MRI (17) and hip arthroscopy (24). The sensitivity (95% confidence interval) of MRI was found to be low, especially with respect to labral tears [25% (0.63–80.6)] and intra-articular loose bodies [20% (0.51–71.6)]. NPV for synovial effusion was also found to be low [12.5% (0.32–52.7)], although specificity and PPV of MRI were found to be good for all the parameters.Conclusions
MRI cannot be completely relied upon for identifying all the intra-articular pathologies in children with LCPD, although it has a good complimentary role. In patients with severe persistent pain with suspicion for joint changes, hip arthroscopy can provide a safe and efficient procedure (better than MRI) for eliciting the associated joint pathology.2.

Introduction and hypothesis
The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation between mean bladder wall thickness (BWT) and treatment success in patients diagnosed with urinary incontinence, based on urodynamic test results.Methods
In this prospective study, patient urinary incontinence type was identified using urodynamic tests. Patients (N?=?125) were categorized into three groups: urodynamic stress incontinence (SUI), detrusor over-activity (DO) and mixed urinary incontinence. Measurements from the bladder dome, anterior wall and trigone were averaged to calculate BWT. Student’s t test and Mann–Whitney U test were used to compare pre-treatment BWT. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine optimal cut-off values for BWT to predict treatment success.Results
Mean pre-treatment BWT significantly differed between success and non-success groups for each urinary incontinence type (p value for the SUI, DO and MUI groups was 0.043, 0.001 and 0.002 respectively). Using ROC curves to anticipate the treatment success, a threshold was calculated for mean pre-treatment BWT; 5.05 mm for SUI (sensitivity 74 %, specificity 66 %, positive predictive value [PPV] 85 %, negative predictive value [NPV] 50 %), 4.98 mm for DO (sensitivity 73 %, specificity 92 %, PPV 95 %, NPV 63 %) and 5.31 mm for mixed type (sensitivity 88 %, specificity 73 %, PPV 79 %, NPV 85 %).Conclusions
The study results suggest a significant relationship between the pre-treatment BWT and the success of urinary incontinence treatment. The mean BWT may be used as a benchmark in assessing the responsiveness to treatment of urinary incontinence types.3.

Purpose
To determine the diagnostic accuracy and interobserver variability of radiologic interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed for surgical planning before prostatectomy.Patients and methods
The records of 233 men undergoing prostatectomy with presurgical multiparametric 3T surface body coil MRI were reviewed. All initial films were read by a fellowship-trained body radiologist provided with relevant clinical information. A senior radiologist then reread all pelvic MRIs blinded to the initial interpretation with findings from both readings compared to final pathology. Kappa (κ) scores as well as sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy were determined.Results
When considering extraprostatic extension (EPE), there was low concordance comparing the initial vs. repeat MRI interpretation (κ = 0.22). Additionally, when the senior radiologist reread his own initial interpretation (n = 93, blinded to initial result), concordance for EPE was greater (κ = 0.36) albeit similarly low. With regard to EPE, a comparison of initial MRI interpretation vs. reread by senior radiologist noted universal improvements in diagnostic characteristics including sensitivity (30.3% vs. 56.1%), specificity (80.2% vs. 88.6%), PPV (37.7% vs. 66.1%), NPV (74.4% vs. 83.6%), and accuracy (66.1% vs. 79.4%). In contrast, seminal vesicle invasion interpretation was more uniform whereby initial MRI interpretation vs. reread yielded similar sensitivity (18.2% vs. 27.3%), specificity (97.2% vs. 93.8%), PPV (40.0% vs. 31.6%), NPV (91.9% vs. 92.5%), and accuracy (89.7% vs. 87.6%).Conclusions
Even at a tertiary referral center, interobserver variability among radiologists regarding local extent of disease on prostate MRI is high. These observations underscore the importance of uniformity when defining criteria for EPE and seminal vesicle invasion to allow for optimal presurgical planning. 相似文献5.

The purposes of this study were to revisit the utility of ultrasonography (USG) as a primary imaging modality in acute appendicitis (AA) and to establish the role of CT scan as a second-line/problem-solving modality. All cases of suspected AA were referred for urgent USG. USG was done with standard protocol for appendicitis. Limited computed tomographic (CT) scan [NCCT ± CECT (IV contrast only)] was done for the lower abdomen and pelvis where sonographic findings were equivocal. One hundred and twenty-one patients were referred for USG for suspected appendicitis. Eight-four patients underwent surgery for AA based on clinical as well as imaging findings, of whom 76 had appendicitis confirmed at histopathology. Three patients were misdiagnosed (3.6 %) on USG as appendicitis. Of 76 patients of appendicitis confirmed histopathologically, 63 (82.8 %) had features of appendicitis on USG and did not require any additional imaging modality. Of 121 patients, 12 (10 %) needed CT scan because of atypical features on USG. Of these 12 patients, seven had retrocecal appendicitis, and three high-up paracolic appendicitis. USG alone had sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of 81, 88, 92.6, 71.6, and 83 %, respectively. When combined with CT scan in select cases, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of combined USG + CT scan were 96 % (P?=?0.0014), 89 %, 93 %, 93.5 % (P?=?0.0001), and 93 % (P?=?0.0484), respectively. Twenty-eight (23 %) patients were given alternative diagnosis on USG. Dedicated appendiceal USG should be used as a primary imaging modality in diagnosing or excluding AA. Appendiceal CT can serve as a problem-solving modality. 相似文献

Purpose
To highlight a new imaging acquisition protocol during 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT in patients with biochemical recurrence after RP.Methods
A total of 146 patients with PSA levels between 0.2 and 1 ng/ml with negative conventional imaging who did not receive salvage treatment were prospectively enrolled. Imaging acquisition protocol included an early dynamic phase (1–8 min), a conventional whole body (10–20 min), and a late phase (30–40 min). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were measured. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of positive PET/CT.Results
The median trigger PSA was 0.6 ng/ml (IQR 0.43–0.76). Median PSA doubling time (PSA DT) was 7.91 months (IQR 4.42–11.3); median PSA velocity (PSAV) was 0.02 ng/ml per month (IQR 0.02–0.04). Overall, 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT was positive in 111 of 146 patients (76 %). Out of 111 positive examinations, 80 (72.1 %) were positive only in the early dynamic phase. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy were 78.9, 76.9, 97.2, 26.3, and 78.7 %, respectively. At multivariable logistic regression, trigger PSA ≥ 0.6 ng/ml [odds ratio (OR) 3.13; p = 0.001] and PSAV ≥ 0.04 ng/ml per month (OR 4.95; p = 0.004) were independent predictors of positive PET/CT. The low NPV remains the main limitation of PET/CT in this setting of patients.Conclusions
The increased sensitivity, thanks to the early imaging acquisition protocol, makes 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT an attractive tool to detect prostate cancer recurrences in patients with a PSA level <1 ng/ml.7.

Background
The purpose of this study was to determine if MRI surveillance is better than serum tumor makers in detecting early recurrence in patients with mucinous appendiceal neoplasm.Materials and Methods
A total of 50 patients with appendiceal neoplasm (DPAM 11, PMCA 39) underwent abdominal and pelvic MRI prior to surgical cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Patients then entered follow-up surveillance with serial MRI every 6 months and serial laboratory studies including CA 125, CEA, and CA19-9. Written reports for surveillance MRI exams were reviewed for tumor recurrence and compared with results of serial laboratory tests. Proof of tumor recurrence was by a consensus of surgery and histopathology, as well as clinical and imaging findings on serial examinations.Results
During surveillance tumor recurrence was documented in 30 patients (60 %) with median time to recurrence of 13 months (range 3–56 months). MRI detected recurrent tumor in 28 patients, including 11 patients with normal laboratory values (sensitivity 0.93, specificity 0.95, accuracy 0.94, PPV 0.97, and NPV 0.90). Serial laboratory values showed tumor recurrence in 14 patients (sensitivity 0.48, specificity 1.00, accuracy 0.69, PPV 1.0, and NPV 0.57). Median survival was 50 months for 11 patients with earlier MRI detection of recurrence vs 33 months for the other 19 patients with recurrence.Conclusions
Following cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC MRI detects tumor recurrence earlier and with greater accuracy than serial tumor markers alone. 相似文献8.

Background
The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic test accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) and multidetector arrays in CT arthrography (MDCT) for assessing chondral lesions in the hip joint.Materials and methods
A review of the published and unpublished literature databases was performed to identify all studies reporting the diagnostic test accuracy (sensitivity/specificity) of MRI, MRA or MDCT for the assessment of adults with chondral (cartilage) lesions of the hip with surgical comparison (arthroscopic or open) as the reference test. All included studies were reviewed using the quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies appraisal tool. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios and diagnostic odds ratios were calculated with 95 % confidence intervals using a random-effects meta-analysis for MRI, MRA and MDCT imaging.Results
Eighteen studies satisfied the eligibility criteria. These included 648 hips from 637 patients. MRI indicated a pooled sensitivity of 0.59 (95 % CI: 0.49–0.70) and specificity of 0.94 (95 % CI: 0.90–0.97), and MRA sensitivity and specificity values were 0.62 (95 % CI: 0.57–0.66) and 0.86 (95 % CI: 0.83–0.89), respectively. The diagnostic test accuracy for the detection of hip joint cartilage lesions is currently superior for MRI compared with MRA. There were insufficient data to perform meta-analysis for MDCT or CTA protocols.Conclusions
Based on the current limited diagnostic test accuracy of the use of magnetic resonance or CT, arthroscopy remains the most accurate method of assessing chondral lesions in the hip joint. 相似文献9.

Objectives
To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy (Acc) of full-field optical coherence tomography (FFOCT) for cancer detection on prostate biopsy.Materials and methods
Thirty-eight consecutive patients with elevated PSA and/or suspicious digital rectal examination were prospectively included. For each patient, 1–10 cores were randomly selected and imaged with FFOCT immediately after sampling. The images obtained were de-identified and analyzed by three pathologists blinded to the results of pathological evaluation. The overall average Acc was measured, as well as sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV). The Acc learning curve was assessed by multivariate logistic regression, and inter-reader concordance was assessed by Kappa index.Results
One hundred and nineteen cores were imaged. Of them, 40 (33.6 %) were involved with cancer. The overall average Acc of FFOCT for cancer detection was of 70.6 %. Se, Sp, PPV, and NPV were of 63, 74, 55.5, and 80 %, respectively. A substantial agreement was observed among pathologists (κ = 0.6, p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, Acc was associated with the number of previously interpreted cases, with a predicted Acc of 82 % at the end of learning curve. The overall average accuracy for high Gleason score (>3 + 3) determination was of 72 %, although results were limited by the small amount of cases.Conclusions
FFOCT of prostate biopsy cores may provide a diagnostic accuracy greater than 80 %, with a good reliability and a high NPV.Take home message
“Full-field optical coherence tomography is a novel imaging modality that could have a potential value in real-time diagnosis of prostate cancer during prostate biopsy procedures.”10.

Background
Magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) is commonly used to demonstrate injury to the labrum and hyaline cartilage in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic correlation between MRA and findings at arthroscopic and open surgery.Materials and methods
MRA reports of 41 hips with symptomatic FAI were reviewed and compared with subsequent intraoperative findings (n = 21 surgical dislocations and n = 20 therapeutic hip arthroscopies). Each case was assessed for the presence of a cam deformity, a cartilage lesion of the femoral head, an os acetabuli, an injury to the labrum and injury to the acetabular cartilage. Results were collected prospectively in a cross-table and analysed retrospectively for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV).Results
The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV in the presence of reported cam-type deformity or an os acetabuli were 100 %. In the presence of cartilage lesions of the femoral head, the values were 46, 81, 55 and 73 %, respectively. For labral tears, the values were 91, 86, 97 and 67 %. In the presence of acetabular cartilage injuries, the values were 69, 88, 78 and 81 %, respectively.Conclusions
MRA appears to be an efficacious imaging modality in the evaluation of labral tears, cam-type impingement lesions and os acetabuli of the hip. MRA is less efficacious in the diagnosis of cartilage abnormalities in the hip, both femoral and acetabular. Researchers should focus on further improvements in imaging techniques in order to give reliable preoperative information to the surgeon. 相似文献11.

Background
Radiographic parameters and indices obtained from hip x-rays are a potential tool to promptly estimate bone quality in elderly hip fracture patients. Preoperative decision in whether to use cemented or cement augmented implants might be supported by this information and thus improve patient safety. Subsequently, this study was conducted to evaluate radiographic parameters as a prescreening tool for bone quality.Methods
A retrospective analysis of 112 elderly patients with a femoral neck fracture after low-energy trauma was performed (81 % female, 19 % male). Three radiological indices were calculated on hip x-rays: cortical index antero-posterior CTI (ap), cortical index lateral CTI (lat) and canal to calcar ratio CCR. These indices were analyzed for correlations with DXA T-Scores and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) using the Spearman test.Results
Median age of patients was 80 (IQR 72–86) years. A linear correlation was found for CTI (lat) and T-Score at the total hip (p?<?0.001, r?=?0.589), femoral neck (p?=?0.005, r?=?0.405) and the lumbar spine (p?=?0.002, r?=?0.299). A significant correlation was also indicated between CTI (lat) and 25(OH)D (p?=?0.002, r?=?0.293). CTI (lat) at a cut-off level of 0.4 showed a sensitivity of 79 % and a specificity of 56 % in predicting a T-score?≤??2.5 at the total hip. Gender specific analysis revealed a higher sensitivity (100 %) and specificity (73 %) of CTI (lat) at a cut-off level of 0.4 for men. For severe vitamin D deficiency (<10 ng/ml) sensitivity and specificity were 75 % and 65 %.Conclusion
Radiographic indices as the CTI (lat) exhibit a direct correlation to BMD and serum 25OH vitamin D levels. A CTI (lat) cut-off level of 0.4 is recommended for identifying patients at risk of osteoporosis expressed by T-Scores?≤??2.5 and severe vitamin D deficiency.12.
Purpose
To evaluate the accuracy of preoperative ultrasonography (US) and US-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) for detecting axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis.Patients and Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 382 breast cancer patients with clinically negative ALN who underwent US and/or US-FNA for ALN. US-FNA of ALN was performed in 121 patients with suspicious findings on US. The diagnostic performance of US alone or with the addition of US-FNA for detecting ALN metastasis was calculated on the basis of final pathologic reports of ALN surgery.Results
Among a total of 382 patients, 129 had metastatic ALNs while 253 exhibited no signs of axillary metastasis on final pathology. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of axillary US alone were 56.6% (73/129), 81.0% (205/253), 60.3% (73/121), and 78.5% (205/261), respectively. Addition of US-FNA resulted in sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 39.5% (51/129), 95.7% (242/253), 82.3% (51/62), and 75.6% (242/320), respectively. Excluding complete responders to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, specificity and PPV after adding US-FNA were increased to 99.6% (242/243) and 98.1% (51/52), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of ALN metastasis were similar between the palpable and nonpalpable breast cancer groups; however, after adding US-FNA, NPV was increased in the nonpalpable breast cancer group compared with the palpable breast cancer group (p = 0.0398). By including preoperative axillary US and US-FNA, 16.2% (62/382) of all breast cancer patients were able to avoid unnecessary sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).Conclusions
The combination of axillary US and US-FNA is useful in preoperative work-up of breast cancer patients and provides valuable information for planning proper breast cancer management. 相似文献13.

Purpose
To retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic role of the contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) for differentiation between benign VCFs and malignant VCFs focusing on the internal transparent trabecular bone on CE-MRI (the “see-through sign”).Materials and methods
The institutional review board approved this study and informed consent was waived due to the retrospective nature of the study. From January 2012 to December 2013, all 149 consecutive benign or malignant VCF patients were enrolled for consideration in this study from a CE-MRI database. In the first analysis, four radiologists independently evaluated the presence or absence of the see-through sign. The see-through sign was defined as internal transparent trabecular bone morphology on CE-MRI. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), percentage agreement, and Fleiss’s kappa statistics were obtained.Results
Fifty-seven patients (M:F = 27:30; mean age, 63 years; age range, 20–88 years) who diagnosed as acute benign (n = 24) and malignant (n = 33) VCFs were finally included for the analysis. The results of all readers showed that the see-through sign was associated with acute benign VCFs (p < 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) of the see-through sign ranged from 75–96, 70–88, 66–85, 81–97 %, respectively. The inter-observer reliability of the see-through sign was sufficient with ICC = 0.847, percentage agreement = 78.9, and κ = 0.578.Conclusion
The see-through sign on CE-MRI is featured in acute benign VCFs, and it can be a useful finding to differentiate between benign and malignant VCFs.14.

Background
Invasive lobular cancer (ILC) of the breast is difficult to diagnose clinically and radiologically. It is hoped that preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can improve evaluation of extent of disease.Methods
Patients diagnosed with ILC at a single institution from 2001 to 2008 who underwent clinical breast examination (CBE), mammography, ultrasound, and MRI were studied retrospectively. Concordance between tumor size on imaging/CBE and pathologic size was defined as size within ±0.5 cm. Pearson correlation coefficients (R) were calculated for each modality. Local recurrence and reexcision rates were compared with those patients with ILC who did not undergo preoperative MRI.Results
Seventy patients with ILC had all imaging modalities, including CBE, performed preoperatively. The sensitivity for detection of ILC by MRI was 99%. MRI-based tumor size was concordant with pathologic tumor size in 56% of tumors. MRI overestimated tumor size by >0.5 cm in 31% of tumors. Correlation of tumor size on imaging with final pathology was better for MRI (R = 0.75) than for mammography (R = 0.65), CBE (R = 0.63), or ultrasound (R = 0.45, all P < 0.01). Preoperative MRI was associated with lower reoperation rates for close/positive margins (P > 0.05).Conclusions
For ILC, MRI has better sensitivity of detection and correlation with tumor size at pathology than CBE, mammography, or ultrasound. However, 31% of cases are overestimated by MRI, and correlation remains only at 0.75. The select use of MRI for preoperative estimation of tumor size in ILC is supported by our data, but the need for improvement and refinement of imaging remains.15.

Background
In many centers, rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) for the specimens obtained from endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNAB) is not available. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic yields of EUS-FNAB in the presence or absence of ROSE.Methods
Seventy-five patients who underwent EUS-FNAB for the pancreatic, gastric subepithelial, and mesenteric mass lesions at our institution from November 2013 to August 2014 were included. For 20 patients in the pilot cohort, EUS-FNAB was performed with ROSE, and simultaneously, training of the staff endosonographer for tissue adequacy by an on-site cytopathologist was also performed.Results
The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of EUS-FNAB in the pilot cohort were 91.7, 100.0, 100.0, 88.9, and 95.0 %, respectively. The 3.2 ± 0.8 [mean ± standard deviation (SD)] needle passes were needed in this cohort. Fifty-five patients were enrolled as a validation cohort from April 2014 to August 2014, and tissue adequacies were assessed by an experienced endosonographer without ROSE in this cohort. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of EUS-FNAB in this validation cohort were 92.1, 100.0, 100.0, 85.0, and 94.6 %, respectively. The 4.5 ± 0.6 (mean ± SD) needle passes were needed in this cohort (p < 0.01 compared to pilot cohort).Conclusions
Diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNAB in which the adequacy of sample was assessed by an attending endosonographer was acceptable. This study suggests that on-site evaluation by a trained endosonographer may be an alternative tool to ROSE where ROSE is not available.16.

Purpose
The aim of our study was to analyse the prevalence of femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) in national elite track and field athletes compared to peers using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical examination including impingement tests.Methods
A total of 44 participants (22 national elite track and field athletes and 22 non-athletes) underwent an MRI for radiological findings associated with FAI, including alpha angle, lateral centre edge angle (CEA), findings of labral and cartilage lesions. The study group was furthermore investigated by the hip outcome score (HOS) and a clinical hip examination including range of motion (ROM) and impingement tests.Results
Concerning the cam impingement, there was a significant difference measured by mean alpha angle between the athlete group (52.2?±?7.29°) and the control group (48.1?±?5.45°, P?=?0.004). Eleven athletes showed a cam impingement, while two probands of the control group had a pincer impingement and one a mixed form (P?=?0.0217). There was no statistically significant difference concerning the CEA upon evaluating pincer impingement. Seven track and field athletes had a positive impingement test, whereof three had an increased alpha angle >55°. No participant of the control group showed pathological results in the impingement test (P?=?0.0121).Conclusions
MRI evidence and clinical examination suggest that cam impingement is more common in elite athletes in comparison to non-athletes. At a professional level, the intense practice of track and field athletics is susceptible for FAI. 相似文献17.

Objectives
To determine the baseline accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of routinely collected co-morbidity data in patients undergoing abdominal wall hernia repair.Methods
All patients aged > 18 who underwent umbilical, para-umbilical, inguinal or incisional hernia repair between 1 January 2015 and 1 November 2016 were identified. All parts of the clinical notes were searched for co-morbidities by two authors independently. The following co-morbidities were considered: hypertension, ischaemic heart disease (IHD), diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cerebrovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypercholesterolemia, obesity and smoking. The co-morbidities data from clinical notes were compared with corresponding data in hospital episode statistics (HES) database to calculate accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of HES codes for co-morbidities. To assess the agreement between clinical notes and HES data, we also calculated Cohen’s Kappa index value as a more robust measure of agreement.Results
Overall, 346 patients comprising 3460 co-morbidity codes were included in the study. The overall accuracy of HES codes for all co-morbidities was 77% (Kappa: 0.13). When calculated separately for each co-morbidity, the accuracy was 72% (Kappa: 0.113) for hypertension, 82% (Kappa: 0.232) for IHD, 85% (Kappa: 0.203) for diabetes, 86% (Kappa: 0.287) for asthma, 91% (Kappa: 0.339) for COPD, 92% (Kappa: 0.374) for CVD, 94% (Kappa: 0.424) for CKD, 74% (Kappa: 0.074) for hypercholesterolemia, 71% (Kappa: 0.66) for obesity and 24% (Kappa: 0.005) for smoking. The overall sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of HES codes were 9, 100, 100, and 77%, respectively. The results were consistent when individual co-morbidities were analyzed separately.Conclusions
Our results demonstrated that HES co-morbidity codes in patients undergoing abdominal wall hernia repair are specific with good positive predictive value; however, they have substandard accuracy, sensitivity, and negative predictive value. The presence of a relatively large number of false negative or missed cases in HES database explains our findings. Better documentation of co-morbidities in admission clerking proforma may help to improve the quality of source documents for coders, which in turn may improve the accuracy of coding.18.

Many studies have investigated the association between stroke and hip fracture risk, but the precise association was still unclear due to insufficient statistical power in single studies with relatively small sample size. Thus, we firstly conducted a meta-analysis of all published studies to precisely estimate the relationship of stroke with hip fracture risk. The strength for this relationship was weighed by pooled relative risks (RRs) with 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) after adjustment for confounding variables. Stratified analyses by study design and ethnicity and sensitivity analysis were also performed. Two investigators independently performed a comprehensive literature search in databases of PubMed, Embase, and Wanfang for eligible articles. A Bayesian meta-analysis was also performed to get a more precise assessment of the relationship. Eleven relevant studies from 10 publications were finally included into our meta-analysis according to the inclusion criteria. Overall, stroke significantly and independently increased the risk of hip fracture (RR?=?2.06, 95 % CI 1.68–2.52, P?<?0.001). Bayesian meta-analysis showed that stroke was also associated with an over two-fold increased risk of hip fracture (RR?=?2.11, 95 % CI 1.62–2.75). In stratified analysis, stroke could increase the risk of hip fracture in Caucasians (RR?=?2.36, 95 % CI 1.83–3.05, P?<?0.001). These data support the notion that stroke is an independent risk factor for hip fracture, and patients with stroke have a two-fold increased risk of hip fracture than those without stroke. 相似文献
