Implication

Cross-sectional analysis compares non-invasive methods to predict esophageal varices in cirrhosis, revealing better accuracy with platelet count to spleen diameter ratio.

Key Points

The platelet count to spleen diameter ratio is a more accurate predictor of esophageal varices than the Child-Turcotte-Pugh score.
Sensitivity for a platelet count to spleen diameter ratio of ≤950 reached 92.5%, and specificity was recorded at 88%.
This study utilized ROC analysis, clinical evaluations, and laboratory testing across a sample of 66 cirrhotic patients.
The findings indicate the platelet count to spleen diameter ratio may serve as an effective alternative in low-resource settings for assessing esophageal varices.
