Abstract

Objective

To investigate the predictive value of a model combining conventional MRI features and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram parameters for meningioma recurrence.

Materials and Methods

Seventy-two meningioma patients confirmed by surgical and pathological findings in our hospital (January 2017–June 2020) were retrospectively and divided into the recurrence and non-recurrence group. MaZda software was used to delineate the region of interest at the largest tumor level and generate histogram parameters. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to construct the nomogram for predicting recurrence. The predictive efficacy and diagnostic of this model were assessed by calibration and decision curve analysis, and receiver operating characteristic curve, respectively.

Results

Maximum diameter, necrosis, enhancement uniformity, age, Simpson, tumor shape, and ADC first percentile (ADCp1) were significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.05), with the latter four being independent risk factors for recurrence. The model constructed combining the four factors had the best predictive efficacy, and the area under the curve, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 0.965(0.892–0.994), 90.3%, 92.6%, 88.9%, 83.3%, and 95.2%, respectively. The calibration curve showed good agreement between the model-predicted and actual probabilities of recurrence. The decision curve analysis indicated good clinical availability of the model.

Conclusion

This model based on conventional MRI features and ADC histogram parameters can directly and reliably predict meningioma recurrence, providing a guiding basis for selecting treatment options and individualized treatment.
