| Core Tip |
In this study, we construct two liver fibrosis index (LFI)-based nomograms for predicting the risk and severity of esophageal varices (EV) in patients with chronic hepatitis B related cirrhosis, through incorporating the clinical and ultrasonic variables screened out with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. The nomograms were well-calibrated and had a good discriminative ability that was validated with receiver operating characteristic, concordance index and decision curve analysis. Both nomograms were more efficient than LFI, splenic portal index, ratio of platelet count to spleen diameter, King’s score and Lok index in training and validation cohorts, and can be clinically used for diagnosing EV and making clinical interventions. |
