Analysis of the main indicators and risk factors of ultrasonic shear wave elastography for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis among adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study was conducted to explore the main indicators of ultrasonic shear wave elastography (SWE) for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA) and its influencing factors.

Methods

We collected 910 patients between January 2018 and November 2023 from the department of ultrasound, Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University. Logistic regression was used to analyze the effects of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), smoking, alcohol, hypertension and diabetes on the diagnosis of OA by SWE.

Results

The results showed that medial meniscal projection distance (MMPD) and OA had a positively correlated dose-response relationship (OR = 2.12, 95%CI (1.53, 3.95), trend p < 0.05). Also, medial meniscus elastometry (MME) had a positive dose-response correlation with O
