Summary

A observational diagnostic study will be conducted to compare the performance of liver stiffness and spleen stiffness measured by 2D-shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) and transient elastography (TE) for diagnosing gastroesophageal varices (GOV) in people with compensated Advanced Chronic Liver Disease (cACLD), and explore the cut-off value of 2D-SWE for diagnosing GOV.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Transient elastography (TE) and 2D-shear wave elastography (2D-SWE)

Index test: TE examination will be completed by experienced nurses, requiring fasting for more than 4 hours before the examination and an interval of no more than 1 week from the abdominal ultrasound and 2D-SWE examination. The report will be considered highly reliable only if IQR/med is ≤ 30%, at least 10 successful acquisitions are obtained, and the success rate is at least 60%. Abdominal ultrasound and 2D-shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) will be completed by a sonographer, the interval between ultrasonic examination and laboratory tests should be less than a week, and the patients should fast for at least 4 hours before the examination. Reference standard: Gastroscopy will be completed and reported by experienced endoscopists, requiring no more than 1 month between gastroscopy and ultrasound examination, and patients should fast for at least 8 hours before gastroscopy.
