Objective:
Endometriosis faces diagnostic delays due to the lack of tools for diagnostic evaluation. The value of miR-4677-3p combined with ultrasound in the diagnosis of endometriosis.
Methods:
110 healthy subjects and 110 endometriosis patients were recruited. miR-4677-3p level was detected by qRT-PCR. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to measure uterine artery blood flow parameters. Pearson analysis was applied to explore the correlation between miR-4677-3p and blood flow parameters. ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors.
Results:
miR-4677-3p serum expression in endometriosis patients was upregulated, EDV and PSV were decreased, while PI and RI were increased. miR-4677-3p level was negatively correlated with RI and PI, and positively correlated with EDV and PSV. miR-4677-3p has diagnostic value for endometriosis, with an AUC of 0.863. After combination with ultrasound parameters, the AUC increased to 0.925, indicating a superior diagnostic value for endometriosis. Aberrantly expressed miR-4677-3p, dysmenorrhea, and CA125 as risk factors.
Conclusion:
The combined application of serum miR-4677-3p and ultrasound parameters can improve the diagnostic efficiency of endometriosis, providing a clinical tool for the accurate identification of the disease.
