Background Platelet count/spleen diameter ratio (PSR) is a non-invasive method for the
assessment of esophageal varices (EV), developed as an alternative to endoscopy. Aim To …

Background Esophageal variceal bleeding remains the leading cause of acute mortality in
patients with cirrhosis. Platelet count to spleen diameter (PC/SD) ratio less than 909 is one …

Esophageal varices are one of the main complications of liver cirrhosis. Upper
gastrointestinal endoscopy is the gold standard for the detection of esophageal varices …
