Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Correlation between the presence of gastroesophageal varices and spleen stiffness measured with Fibroscan630 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (1) Performance evaluation of SSM by comparing the results of @100Hz and @50Hz (2) Comparison of measurement success rates (10 effective measurements/total number of measurements) at @100Hz and @50Hz for SSM (3) Comparison of egastroesophageal varices and liver stiffness measured with FibroScan 630 (4) Comparison of LSM @50Hz, SSM @100Hz, and SSM @50Hz with platelet counts, liver fibrosis markers (M2BPGi, type IV collagen 7S, autotaxin, and hyaluronic acid), and various scoring (AAR, APRI, Fib-4 index, LSPS, PSR) (5) Comparison of hepatic venous pressure gradient with LSM @50Hz, SSM @100Hz, and SSM @50Hz | — |
