Core Tip Transient elastography (TE) is a promising tool for liver fibrosis screening, but its cost-effectiveness data in low- and middle-income countries is limited. Screening for significant fibrosis in patients with diabetes mellitus is recommended, yet implementation faces resource challenges. Fibrosis-4 index followed by TE offers the highest probability of being cost-effective and the lowest budget impact in Thailand. Prioritizing scoring systems as a triage tool can optimize early detection and resource use in resource-limited settings.
