Liver stiffness-spleen size-to-platelet ratio risk score detects esophageal varices in chronic liver disease

BACKGROUND: Noninvasive markers are needed to identify esophageal varices (EV) in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). Recently, liver stiffness (LS)-spleen size-to-platelet ratio risk score (LSPS) has been shown to predict EV in patients with chronic hepatitis C. The aim of this study was to...
