Abstract
Background and Aims
A measurement of spleen stiffness has been demonstrated to improve the detection of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH). In this study, we evaluated the performance of EUS-guided shear wave elastography (EUS-SWE) for detecting CSPH.
Methods
EUS-SWE measurements of the spleen were compared between patients with and without CSPH. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis was performed and quantified by the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUROC).
Results
Of 142 patients with EUS-SWE spleen measurements, 13 (9.2%) had CSPH and 129 (90.8%) did not. Patients with CSPH had a significantly higher mean spleen stiffness (37.6 ± 8.5 kPA vs 29.1 ± 9.9 kPA, P = .003). The AUROC was .74.
Conclusions
SWE is a promising technology that can readily be incorporated into standard EUS examination for assessment of portal hypertension.
