Preoperative prediction model identifies risk factors for gallbladder adenoma

Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis to identify risk factors for gallbladder adenoma, a precancerous lesion. They analyzed data from patients who underwent cholecystectomy and found that age, gallbladder wall thickness, polyp size, echogenicity, pedunculation, and adenosine deaminase (ada) levels were independent predictors of gallbladder adenoma. Using these factors, they developed a preoperative prediction model with an area under the curve value of 0.894, sensitivity of 89.20%, specificity of 79.40%, and overall accuracy of 84.41% for adenoma detection. These findings provide valuable insights for informed diagnosis and treatment by clinicians.
