Abstract:Objective To study the consistency of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in diagnosis of gastric stromal tumors (GISTs) with postoperative pathology and the influencing factors of diagnostic accuracy.Methods 188 patients with suspected gastric stromal tumor from October 2018 to October 2020 were selected as the research objects and retrospectively analyzed. All these patients underwent endoscopic ultrasonography and surgery before operation, and the postoperative pathological diagnosis was clear. The general data of patients were collected, including age, gender and endoscopic features (lesion diameter, lesion location, origin level, regular boundary, homogeneous echo, surface ulcer, mucosal bridge, liquefaction and calcification). The results of endoscopic ultrasonography and pathological examination were compared to analyze the consistency of endoscopic ultrasonography and pathological examination in the diagnosis of gastric stromal tumor, explore the factors influencing the accuracy of endoscopic ultrasonography in the diagnosis of gastric stromal tumors.Results Among the 188 cases of suspected gastric stromal tumors, 152 cases were diagnosed as gastric stromal tumors by endoscopic ultrasonography. Endoscopic features showed that 9 cases originated from muscularis mucosa, 10 cases from submucosa, 133 cases from muscularis propria; lesions were located in 97 cases of gastric fundus, 35 cases of gastric body, 14 cases of gastric antrum, 6 cases of gastric horn. The results of pathological examination showed that there were 162 cases of gastric stromal tumor, 19 cases of smooth muscle tumor, 4 cases of schwannoma and 3 cases of neurofibroma. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and Kappa value were 88.27%, 65.38%, 85.11%, 94.08%, 47.22% and 0.462 respectively. 160 patients were diagnosed as consistent, 28 patients were diagnosed as inconsistent. The proportion of patients with lesion diameter ≥ 2 cm, uneven echo and calcification was significantly higher than that of patients without diagnosis (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that lesion diameter (O = 1.624, 95%CI: 1.108~2.380), homogeneous echo (O = 1.407, 95%CI: 1.017~1.947) and calcification (O = 1.724, 95%CI: 1.351~2.200) were independent influencing factors for the accuracy of EUS in the diagnosis of gastric stromal tumors (P < 0.05).Conclusion Endoscopic ultrasonography in the diagnosis of gastric stromal tumors is consistent with postoperative pathological diagnosis. Lesion diameter, homogeneous echo and calcification are independent factors affecting the accuracy of endoscopic ultrasonography in the diagnosis of gastric stromal tumors.
