New Cutoff Point for Platelet Count/Spleen Diameter Ratio to Predict Esophageal Varices in Patients with Hepatitis C Virus-related Hepatic Cirrhosis

The esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with all its hazards remains the gold standard screening tool for esophageal varices. Noninvasive tools have been proposed and studied to replace the EGD. Platelet count (PC)/spleen diameter (SD) ratio as a noninvasive tool for predicting the presence of esophage...

description The esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with all its hazards remains the gold standard screening tool for esophageal varices. Noninvasive tools have been proposed and studied to replace the EGD. Platelet count (PC)/spleen diameter (SD) ratio as a noninvasive tool for predicting the presence of esophageal varices was proposed and studied in many previous studies.
