Liver stiffness-spleen size-to-platelet ratio risk score detects esophageal varices in chronic liver disease
BACKGROUND Noninvasive markers are needed to identify esophageal varices (EV) in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). Recently, liver stiffness (LS)-spleen size-to-platelet ratio risk score (LSPS) has been shown to predict EV in patients with chronic hepatitis C. The aim of this study was to validate the clinical value of LSPS for EV detection and identification of high risk EV in Japanes...
متن کاملSpleen Stiffness Is Superior to Liver Stiffness for Predicting Esophageal Varices in Chronic Liver Disease: A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) are two most widely accessible non-invasive parameters for predicting esophageal varices (EV), but the reported accuracy of the two predictors have been inconsistent across studies. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of LS and SS measurement for detecting EV in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD...
متن کاملInterrelation between esophageal varices, and systemic and hepatic hemodynamics in male patients with compensated cirrhosis.
The interrelation between endoscopic findings in esophageal varices, and systemic and hepatic hemodynamic abnormalities was studied in 76 male patients with compensated cirrhosis. Observation of these patients revealed a hyperdynamic systemic circulation, represented by an increased cardiac output and reduced total systemic vascular resistance with an enlarged circulating plasma volume and with...
متن کاملNoninvasive prediction of large esophageal varices in liver cirrhosis patients.
PURPOSE Esophageal varices are a dangerous complication of liver cirrhosis. The development of cost effective, noninvasive means for prediction of large esophageal varices could reduce the use of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in variceal screening and also provide an alternative way to confirm the results of conventional endoscopic diagnosis. Previously proposed predictive models are neither...
متن کاملPlatelet count/spleen diameter ratio predicted the presence of esophageal varices in liver cirrhosis.
Thanks to Dr. Daniel J. Brotman of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation for pointing out an error in the confidence interval for sensitivity in “Platelet count/spleen diameter ratio predicted the presence of esophageal varices in liver cirrhosis” (1). The correct values appear in the Table. Operating characteristics of platelet count/spleen diameter ratio (cutpoint ≤ 909 for a positive diagnosis) fo...
