Diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography on upper gastrointestinal eminence lesions

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)on eminence lesions of upper gastrointestinal tract. Methods A retrospective analysis was made based on clinical data of 98 upper gastrointestinal eminence lesions patients from July 2010 to August 2016 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University.All patients were performed EUS and were treated with endoscope, or the lesions were identified by biopsy.EUS findings were compared with postoperative or biopsy pathological diagnosis.The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of EUS diagnosis in property and layer origin of upper gastrointestinal eminence lesions were calculated. Results The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of EUS diagnosis in upper gastrointestinal eminence lesions property were 89.80%, 96.58%, 96.16%.The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of EUS diagnosis in layer origin of upper gastrointestinal eminence lesions were 97.96%, 99.05%, 98.44%. Conclusion EUS has value in the diagnosis of property of upper gastrointestinal eminence lesions, and has high accuracy of identifying the origin layer, which is helpful to choose diagnostic and therapeutic schedule of upper gastrointestinal eminence lesions under endoscopy.
