Accuracy of liver stiffness-based model by different imaging modalities in compensated advanced chronic liver disease

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of LSPS model assessed by ultrasound in well characterized patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease. Methods Eligible patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease were retrospectively enrolled between January 2017 and March 2018, who had undergone routine clinical and laboratory tests, liver stiffness measurement, ultrasound examination, and computed tomography scanning. Spleen sizes were evaluated by ultrasound and computed tomography reconstructed model, respectively. The correlation and agreement of spleen size and LSPS derived from ultrasound and computed tomography imaging modality were compared. Results A total of 158 patients were included and analyzed. Spleen size showed a moderate correlation (R = 0.649, P
