Criteria for Early-Phase Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis: Development and Validation.

ABSTRACT: Background Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition characterized by the formation of new bone along the anterolateral spinal column at four adjacent vertebral bodies. Purpose To propose and validate criteria for the early phase of DISH by using CT data from two large-scale retrospective cohorts, each with 5-year follow-up. Materials and Methods For this retrospective study, CT data at baseline and follow-up in 1367 patients (cohort I) from 2004 to 2011 were evaluated by two observers to define no DISH, early-stage DISH, and definite DISH on the basis of interval development of consecutive complete or incomplete bone bridges. An independent group of 2267 participants from the COPDGene cohort from 2008 to 2016 was used to validate the early DISH criteria (cohort II). The sensitivity and specificity of early DISH criteria were based on findings in the last CT study as the reference standard by using a nested case-control design. ? Values were calculated between seven readers and with a 3-month interval for one reader. Results Cohort I consisted of 100% men, with a mean age of 60.0 years ± 5.6 (standard deviation) and a mean time between baseline and follow-up CT of 5.0 years ± 1.1. Cohort II consisted of 51% men, with a mean age of 59.9 years ± 8.6 and a mean time between baseline and follow-up CT of 5.4 years ± 0.5. In the derivation cohort, 55 patients comprised the early DISH group. Early DISH was defined as the presence of a spinal segment with a complete bone bridge with an adjacent segment of at least a near-complete bone bridge and another adjacent segment with at least the presence of newly formed bone or when three or more adjacent segments were recorded as showing a near-complete bone bridge. In the validation cohort, sensitivity for early DISH (vs no DISH) was 96% (99 of 103 participants; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 90%, 99%). The corresponding specificity was 83% (1695 of 2034 participants; 95% CI: 82%, 85%). The Fleiss ? for interrater reliability was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.77, 0.78), and the ? for intrarater reliability was 0.89 (95% CI: 0.82, 0.96). Conclusion Early diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) criteria had high sensitivity and specificity for predicting the development of DISH. © RSNA, 2019 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Project description:ObjectivesThe extension of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) from the low thoracic spine to the lumbar spine result in adjustment of spinal sagittal alignment in surgical patients. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in sagittal alignment and back pain in the thoracolumbar spine in nonsurgical DISH and control participants selected from a radiological database.MethodsParticipants in the DISH and the control group were selected by searching for "DISH or degenerative changes in the thoracic spine" in the radiology database of Taizhou Hospital between 2018 and 2021 using Resnick and Niwayama's criteria. The subjects with spinal tumors, previous spinal surgery, vertebral fractures, inflammatory diseases, poor-quality radiographs, or loss of follow-up were excluded. Demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded retrospectively via the hospital information system and telephone follow-up. Segmental disc angles (SDAs), lumbar lordosis (LL), and bridge scores were analyzed using images of three-dimensional CT.ResultsThe final participants consisted of 51 individuals with DISH (DISH group) and 102 individuals without DISH (control group). Depending on the presence of thoracolumbar pain, the DISH group was divided into the DISH group with thoracolumbar pain (DISH+Pain) and the DISH group without thoracolumbar pain (DISH-Pain). The LL and SDAs of T11-T12 and T12-L1 were significantly greater in the DISH group than in the control group. In addition, the SDA of L1-L2 was significantly smaller in the DISH+Pain group than in the DISH-Pain group, whereas there was no significant difference in lumbar lordosis between the DISH+Pain group and the DISH-Pain group. The bridge scores in DISH+Pain group was larger in T10-T11 (p = 0.01) and L1-L2 (p < 0.01) spine segments than those in DISH-Pain group.ConclusionThe extension of DISH from thoracic to lumbar spine may increase lumbar lordosis and SDAs in the thoracolumbar spine. The DISH patients with more bony bridging and small L1-L2 SDA may be more likely have thoracolumbar pain. Adjustment of sagittal alignment of the spine in the development of DISH may be of clinical importance.
