The sequential use of Baveno VI criteria alongside spleen stiffness measurement significantly improves screening outcomes for high-risk esophageal varices.
Spleen stiffness measurement (SSM100Hz) demonstrated a sensitivity of 97% and a negative predictive value of 96.4%, indicating its effectiveness in detecting high-risk conditions.
Out of 92 patients evaluated, 33 were identified with high-risk esophageal varices, emphasizing the prevalence of this condition in chronic liver disease.
The approach allows for a screening rate enhancement while minimizing the need for invasive endoscopies, supporting patient safety.
