Platelet count combined with right liver volume and spleen volume measured by magnetic resonance imaging for identifying cirrhosis and esophageal varices

Table 1 The main clinical characteristics of healthy volunteers and cirrhotic patients with different modified Child-Pugh classes

¹Different from Child-Pugh class A;

²Different from Child-Pugh class B, and all the comparisons denote significance after Bonferroni correction (P < 0.05).

^aP value shows the difference between cirrhotic patients and healthy volunteers. BMI: Body mass index; SV: Spleen volume; SI: Spleen volumetric index; PLT: Platelet count; RV: Right liver lobe volume; RVPS: RV × PLT/SV; M: Male; F: Female.
