Introduction: One of the most serious complications of liver cirrhosis is variceal bleeding.
Early recognition of the oesophageal varices is of primary importance in the prevention of …

AIM: To determine if liver stiffness (LS) measurements by means of transient elastography
(TE) correlate with the presence of significant esophageal varices (EV) and if they can …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using transient elastography
(TE) to predict the risk of esophageal varices (EVs) in Chinese patients. METHODS: In total …

Background/aim Transient elastography is a relatively new, noninvasive method of
measuring liver stiffness. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transient …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Periodic endoscopic screening for oesophageal varices is
recommended in patients with cirrhosis, but might be limited to a subgroup of patients if a …

Abstract Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical value of
transient elastography (TE) for high‐risk esophageal varices (HREV) prediction in hepatitis …

Background and purpose: Transient elastography (TE) has been shown to be a valuable
tool for the prediction of large esophageal varices. However, the conclusions have not been …

Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, Science Direct,
China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WeiPu, WanFang database, and Baidu Scholar to …

Aim: To determine if liver stiffness (LS) measurements by means of Transient Elastography
(TE) vary according to the etiology of the underlying liver cirrhosis and to find if there are …

Abstract Background/Aims Endoscopic screening for high‐risk gastro‐oesophageal varices
(GOV) is recommended for compensated cirrhotic patients with transient elastography …
