Abstract:Introduction: Endoscopy for the screening of esophageal varices (EVs) is costly and cannot be performed in remote areas with limited resources. Recently, certain non-invasive cost effective models have been proposed for the prediction of EVs but have failed recommendation on a larger scale. EVendo score is a recently developed bedside score for the detection of EVs. Therefore, our aim was to determine the utility of EVendo score as a screening tool for the detection of high risk esophageal varices in Pakistani… Show more
