Value of combined serological biomarkers in the diagnosis of ruptured
ovarian endometrioma: a case-control study
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical value of serological biomarkers
(white blood cell count [WBC], neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio
[NLR], prealbumin [PA], platelet distribution width [PDW],
mean platelet volume [MPV], CA125,and D-dimer) to diagnose ruptured
ovarian endometrioma and construct a prediction model. Design:
Case-control study Setting:Single-center Population:Seven hundred and
eighty-five women diagnosed with ruptured (n=181) and unruptured ovarian
endometrioma (n=604) between January 2011 and December 2021. Methods:The
differences in serological biomarkers (WBC, NLR, PA, PDW, MPV, CA125,
and D-dimer) between the two groups were analyzed using logistic
univariate analysis to select independent variables. Biomarkers with
statistically significant differences were included in a logistic
multivariate analysis to construct a regression model and thereby
predict ruptured ovarian endometrioma. Operating characteristic (ROC)
curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of the predictive
model. Main outcome measures:serological biomarkers (WBC, NLR, PA, PDW,
MPV, CA125,and D-dimer in ruptured ovarian endometrioma. Results:
Univariate analysis revealed that WBC, NLR, PA, PDW, MPV, CA125,and
D-dimer levels were correlated with ovarian endometrioma rupture
(P<0.05). The optimal cut-off values were determined using the
ROC curves,and multivariate analysis showed that
WBC>7.81×109/L, NLR>2.65,
PDW>15.55fL,MPV<9.50fL,
PA<0.189g/L,CA125>94.63U/mL, and
D-dimer>195.5ug/L were independent predictors of ovarian
endometrioma rupture. The area under the curve(AUC) of the model was
0.983.The sensitivity and specificity of the predictive model were high
(93.4% and 96.4%,respectively). Conclusion:WBC,NLR, PA, PDW,
MPV,CA125,and D-dimer can be used to facilitate early identification of
ruptured ovarian endometrioma and early intervention. The diagnostic
model established in this study is of great importance for diagnosing
ruptured endometriotic cysts.
