Standardized measurement in uterine ultrasonography

Abstract:

:Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: Jelenleg a méh méretének pontos megítélése meglehetősen szubjektív, az azt leíró ultrahangleletek igen nagy eltérést mutatnak. Számos klinikai szituációban azonban nagyon fontos az eltérések méretének, elhelyezkedésének, meghatározott anatómiai pontokhoz való viszonyának pontos leírása. Célkitűzés: Célunk egy egységes mérési módszer kifejlesztése, mellyel sorvezetőt adunk a vizsgálók kezébe, így csökkentve az egyéni variabilitásból adódó eltéréseket. A standardizált adatok lehetőséget adnak a szisztematikus gyűjtésre, azok egységes feldolgozására, rendszerbe foglalására, tudományos értékelésére, segítséget nyújtva a mindennapi klinikai gyakorlatban és kutatásokban. Módszer: A méh általunk végzett ultrahangvizsgálatait, valamint a nemzetközi tanulmányokat alapul véve kívánunk javaslatot tenni egy egységes mérési módszer kialakítására, mellyel egyértelmű, pontos, reprodukálható adatokat kaphatunk a méhről. Eredmények: Létrehoztunk egy standardizált paraméterekkel rendelkező mérési eljárást Uteromap néven, melyet alkalmazva objektív méretadatokat kaphatunk a méh ultrahangvizsgálata során. Külön figyelmet fordítottunk arra, hogy az általunk létrehozni kívánt standardizált mérési eljárás alkalmas legyen minden általános, valamint speciális esetben is. A kipróbálás során a legelső 253 páciens adatait elemeztük retrospektív módon. Eredményeink szerint az idősebb életkor megnövekedett méhmagassággal és nagyobb hátsó falvastagsággal korrelált. Következtetés: Arra a következtetésre jutottunk, hogy standardizált mérési módszerünk alkalmazásával a méhről és elváltozásairól sokkal pontosabb, objektívebb és egységesebb adatokat nyerhetünk anélkül, hogy a vizsgálathoz szükséges idő szignifikánsan hosszabb lenne. Munkánk folytatásaként minél több vizsgáló bevonásával szeretnénk a standardizált módszert a mindennapi gyakorlatra kiterjeszteni, a felmerülő igények, javaslatok alapján fejleszteni és létrehozni egy nemzetközileg elfogadott, standardizált mérési eljárást, mellyel az ultrahangvizsgálatok minőségét növelhetnénk, azzal a végső céllal, hogy javítsuk a betegek biztonságát és az ellátás eredményességét.

SUMMARY: INTRODUCTION:Currently, the accurate assessment of the size of the uterus is rather subjective as the related ultrasound findings show an immense difference. However, in several clinical situations it is crucial to accurately describe the size and location of abnormalities and their relationship to specific anatomical positions. OBJECTIVE:We aim to develop a unified measurement method that can serve as a guide for the examiners, thus reducing variances due to individual variability. Standardized data provide an opportunity for systematic collection, unified processing, systematization, and scientific evaluation, assisting in everyday clinical practice and research. METHOD:Based on our ultrasound examinations and the international studies, we propose a unified measurement method that can provide precise, accurate and reproducible data on the uterus. RESULTS:We have established a measurement procedure with standardized parameters called Uteromap, which obtained objective size data during the ultrasound examination of the uterus. Special attention was given to creating a standardized measurement procedure suitable for general and special cases, too. According to our results, older age was correlated with increased uterine height and greater posterior wall thickness. During the trial, the data of the first 253 patients were analyzed retrospectively. CONCLUSION:We concluded that our standardized measurement method could obtain more accurate, objective, and consistent data about the uterus and its lesions without significantly increasing the time of the examination. Continuing our work, we would like to extend the standardized method to everyday practice, develop and create an internationally accepted standardized measurement procedure based on the emerging needs and recommendations, with the ultimate aim of improving patient safety and effectiveness of care.
