Objective To derive an optimal liver stiffness measurement cut point to discriminate
METAVIR fibrosis stage F4 and to validate both METAVIR fibrosis stage F3-F4 and F4 cut …

The objectives of this prospective case-control study were to determine liver stiffness (LSM)
by transient elastography (TE) in children with newly diagnosed chronic liver disease (CLD) …

Objectives: Transient elastography (TE) measures liver stiffness to assess fibrosis. Studies in
adults have shown that inflammation increases stiffness, leading to an overestimation of …

OBJECTIVE. We aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of transient elastography for
evaluating liver fibrosis in children and adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A …

Aim Transient elastography (TE) is a rapid, non‐invasive, reproducible assessment of liver
fibrosis by liver stiffness measurement (LSM). Uncertainty remains regarding utility in …

Objectives: Noninvasive tests for the evaluation of liver fibrosis are particularly helpful in
children to avoid general anesthesia and potential complications of invasive tests. We aimed …

ABSTRACT Objective: Transient elastography (FibroScan) is a novel, noninvasive, rapid
bedside method to assess liver fibrosis by measuring liver stiffness in adult patients. The …

Background: The aim of this prospective study was to analyze liver fibrosis in teenagers with
chronic hepatitis C (CHC) using noninvasive methods. Methods: Thirty-five patients with …

Background: Elastography can be measured with different imaging techniques and is
increasingly used for noninvasive assessment of hepatic fibrosis. Little is known about the …

Abstract Background & Aims Although transient elastography (TE) is used to determine liver
stiffness as a surrogate to hepatic fibrosis, the normal range in children is not well defined …
