140 patients with cirrhosis undergoing hepatic resection for HCC 39 (28%) with clinically significant portal hypertension HCC Similar performance to detect CSPH Liver surface nodularity on CT images Liver stiffness measurement by transient elastrography 93% 94% Similar feasibility M Combining LSN and LSPS correctly classified 108/140 (77%) with 7% error k P A LSPS liver stiffness-spleen size-to-platelet ratio Highlights Diagnostic performance of LSN is similar to that of LSM for the diagnosis of CSPH in patients with cirrhosis and HCC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
