Predicting gastroesophageal varices through spleen magnetic resonance elastography in pediatric liver fibrosis

Figure 3 Comparison of area under the curve analyses for predicting varices. The area under the curve was 0.844 for the aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (cut-off, 0.65), 0.813 for the spleen size ratio (cut-off, 1.08) and 0.844 for the spleen magnetic resonance elastography values (cut-off, 9.9 kPa) for predicting gastroesophageal varices. The diagnostic performance did not differ among these three methods. APRI: Aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index.
