Assessing Baveno VI criteria with liver stiffness measured using a new point‐shear wave elastography technique (BAVElastPQ study)

Background and Aims To date, no study has explored the potential role of ElastPQ, a novel point-SWE technique, in the assessment of clinically significant portal hypertension. The aim of our study was to determine a liver stiffness (LS) cut-off value measured by ElastPQ and laboratory parameters that could help to identify those patients who can safely avoid screening endoscopy. Methods Data were collected on 1422 patients who underwent ElastPQ...
