ABSTRACT
A combined model was developed using contrast-enhanced CT-based radiomics features and clinical characteristics to predict liver fibrosis stages in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). We retrospectively analyzed multiphase CT scans and biopsy-confirmed liver fibrosis. 160 CLD patients were randomly divided into 73 training/validation ratio. Clinical laboratory indicators associated with liver fibrosis were identified using Spearman's correlation and multivariate logistic regression correlation. Radiomic features were extracted after segmenting the entire liver from multiphase CT images. Feature dimensionality reduction was performed using RF-RFE, LASSO, and mRMR methods. Six radiomics-based models were developed in the training cohort of 112 patients. Internal validation was conducted on 48 randomly assigned patients. Receptor Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and confusion matrices were constructed to evaluate model performance. The radiomics model exhibited robust performance, with AUC values of 0.810 to 1.000 for significant fibrosis, advanced fibrosis, and cirrhosis. The integrated clinical-radiomics model had superior diagnostic efficacy in the validation cohort, with AUC values of 0.836 to 0.997. Moreover, these models outperformed established biomarkers such as the aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) and the fibrosis 4 score (FIB-4), as well as the gamma glutamyl transpeptidase to platelet ratio (GPR), in predicting the fibrotic stages. The clinical-radiomics model holds considerable promise as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for the assessment and staging of liver fibrosis in the patients with CLD, potentially leading to better patient management and outcomes.
