Core Tip	Laboratory and radiologic parameters, in-cluding the platelet count (PC)-to-spleen diameter (SD) ratio were investigated in children with cirrhosis as a non-invasive marker that may predict the presence of esophageal varices (EV). This study is the first study to assess the PC-to-SD ratio in children with cirrhosis for detecting EV according to age groups This study demonstrated that the parameters, other than the presence of ascites, were inappropriate for detecting EV in children with cirrhosis.
