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 …

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) vary according to the etiology of the underlying liver cirrhosis and to find if there are …

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 …

China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WeiPu, WanFang database, and Baidu Scholar to …

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

We read with great interest the consensus that was recently published by de Franchis et al.
on behalf of the Baveno VI Faculty [1]. The use of transient elastography (TE) for clinical …

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 …

Aim. To establish an algorithm which includes the liver stiffness (LS) and/or spleen stiffness
(SS) assessed by ARFI for the prediction of significant esophageal varices-EV (at least …

This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of liver stiffness for predicting
