Abstract
ObjectiveTo study the diagnosis efficacy of controlled attenuation parameters (CAP) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) in the transient elastography of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its subtypes in children with obesity.MethodsRetrospectively analyze children with obesity in the Childhood Obesity Clinic of the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University from July 2020 to March 2021. The correlation between clinical data and NAFLD subtypes was analyzed, and included the relevant clinical data into the receiver operating characteristic curve for diagnosis and prediction.Results120 children aged between 6.1 and 17.8 years, with 70 males (58.33%), 50 females (41.67%), and a ratio of 1.4:1, were enrolled in the study. CAP and LSM correlated in all subtypes of NAFLD. The correlation was significant for diagnosing NAFLD in children with obesity when CAP > 258.00 dB/m and LSM > 4.65 kPa. It was also significant for NASH diagnosis when CAP > 276.00 dB/m and LSM > 5.15 kPa, while it was less significant for diagnosing NAFLD in children with obesity.ConclusionsCAP and LSM have diagnostic efficacy for NAFLD and its subtypes in children with obesity, with optimal predictive values of CAP > 258.00 dB/m and LSM > 4.65 kPa for NAFLD in children with obesity, and CAP > 276.00 dB/m and LSM > 5.15 kPa for NASH in children with obesity.
