Abstract

The conventional magnetic resonance features of World Health Organization (WHO) grade II and III diffuse gliomas in relation to chromosome 1p and 19q deletions (1p19q codeletion) were analyzed. We identified 147 cases of WHO grade II and III diffuse gliomas (1p/19q codeletion, 36 cases; no 1p/19q codeletion, 111 cases). χ Test and univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between the imaging features and 1p19q codeletion status of WHO grade II and III diffuse gliomas in the discovery group, including the WHO grade II and III subgroups. (1) In the entire population, multivariate regression demonstrated that proportion contrast-enhanced tumor (>5% vs ≤5%; odds ratio [OR], 0.169; P = 0.009), enhancing margin (poorly vs well defined; OR, 12.435; P = 0.002), and hemorrhage (yes vs no; OR, 21.082; P < 0.001) were associated with a higher incidence of 1p19q codeletion status. The nomogram showed good discrimination (area under the curve [AUC], 0.803) and calibration. (2) For grade II tumors, subgroup analysis found that enhancing margin (poorly vs well defined; OR, 0.308; P = 0.007) and subventricular zone (presence vs absence-; OR, 0.137; P < 0.001) were associated with a higher incidence of 1p19q codeletion status (AUC, 0.779). (3) For grade III tumors, subgroup analysis found that age (≥40 years vs <40 years; OR, 5.977; P = 0.03) and hemorrhage (yes vs no; OR, 18.051; P < 0.001) were associated with a higher incidence of 1p19q codeletion status (AUC, 0.816). Conventional magnetic resonance features can be conveniently used to facilitate the preoperative prediction of 1p19q codeletion status of WHO grade II and III diffuse gliomas. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the nomogram was clinically useful.
