Validation and comparison of non-invasive prediction models based on liver stiffness measurement to identify patients who could avoid gastroscopy

Abstract Several non‐invasive tests (NITs) based on liver stiffness measurement (LSM) have been developed to rule out varices needing treatment (VNT), including the Baveno VI criteria (B6C), the expanded Baveno VI criteria (EB6C), the LSM-spleen diameter to platelet ratio score (LSPS), and the VariS...
