Non-invasive prediction of forthcoming cirrhosis-related complications

Figure 1 Cumulative incidence rate of variceal bleeding based on liver stiffness measurement-spleen diameter to platelet ratio score values. Reproduced with permission from Kim et al[45]. A: Among patients with liver cirrhosis related to hepatitis B virus, those with higher LSPS values had significantly higher cumulative incidences of bleeding from EVs during the follow-up period; n = 577; B: Among patients with high-risk EVs, patients with LSPS ≥ 6.5 had higher risks for variceal bleeding; n = 150. LSPS: Liver stiffness measurement-spleen diameter to platelet ratio score; EV: Esophageal varice.
