RIVERA-SALDIVAR, Gustavo et al. MSH-5: malignant knee tumors timely detection index. Cir. cir. [online]. 2023, vol.91, n.2, pp.146-152. Epub 16-Maio-2023. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000907.
Background.
Bone neoplasms are usually misdiagnosed causing a delay in their treatment. Bone neoplasms are usually confused with tendinitis, 31% of the cases corresponds to osteosarcomas and in 21% to Ewing's sarcomas.
Objective.
To create a clinical-radiographic instrument of high diagnostic suspicion of knee bone neoplasms to prevent a delay in diagnosis.
Method.
A clinimetric study (sensitivity, consistency and validity) was performed in the bone tumor service, Hospital de Ortopedia de la Unidad Médica de Alta Especialidad Dr. Victorio de la Fuente Narváez, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, in México City.
Results.
Characteristics of 153 patients were collected. For the sensitivity phase, 3 domains (signs, symptoms, and radiology) and 12 items were included. Consistency was evaluated with ICC (0.944), 95%CI (0.865-0.977), p < 0.001 and a-Cronbach (0.863). Index obtained a sensitivity of 0.80 and a specificity of 0.882 were obtained. The positive predictive value of the test was 66.6% and the negative predictive value was 93.75%. The positive likelihood ratio was 6.8 and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.2. Validity was evaluated using r-Pearson (0.894; p < 0.001).
Conclusions.
A high suspicion clinical-radiographic index was designed to detect malignant knee tumors with adequate sensitivity, specificity, appearance, content, criteria, and construct validity.
