Background & Aims Alcohol abuse causes half of all deaths from cirrhosis in the West, but
few tools are available for noninvasive diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease. We evaluated 2 …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of liver stiffness
measurement (LSM) for the diagnosis of extensive fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with …

Background The value of transient elastography for the non-invasive diagnosis of alcohol-
related liver fibrosis is subject to debate. We did an individual patient data (IPD) meta …

Background & aims Alcohol is the leading cause of cirrhosis and liver-related mortality, but
we lack serum markers to detect compensated disease. We compared the accuracy of the …

Background Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has been used to measure fibrosis in
patients with various types of chronic liver diseases. However, its usefulness as a screening …

AIM: To test if inflammation also interferes with liver stiffness (LS) assessment in alcoholic
liver disease (ALD) and to provide a clinical algorithm for reliable fibrosis assessment in …

Background The progression of hepatic fibrosis into cirrhosis is a main prognostic factor for
survival in people with alcoholic liver disease. The range of cut‐off values characterising the …

Background/Goals Consensus is lacking whether cut-off values for different fibrosis stages
using transient elastography (TE, FibroScan) are universally applicable to all liver diseases …

AIM: To determine the evolution of transient elastography (TE) in patients with alcoholic liver
disease according to alcohol cessation or continuation. METHODS: We retrospectively …

Background: Measurement of liver stiffness (LS) using real‐time elastography appears as a
promising tool to evaluate the severity of chronic liver diseases. Previous studies in patients …
