Background/AimsTransient elastography (TE) has become an alternative to liver biopsy (LB). This study investigated the diagnostic performance of liver stiffness (LS) measurement using TE in Korean patients with chronic hepatitis B and C (CHB and CHC).
MethodsFrom April 2006 to June 2014, 916 patients (567 CHB and 349 CHC) who underwent LB and TE at 15 centres were analyzed. The Batts and Ludwig scoring...
Background & AimsLiver stiffness (LS) value using transient elastography is a reliable, non‐invasive tool for assessing liver fibrosis. LS‐based prediction model, LSPS (=LS value × spleen diameter/platelet count) is well correlated with the risk of developing portal hypertension‐related cirrhotic complications. Here, we assessed the prognostic performance of LSPS in predicting the development...
