| Core Tip |
Esophageal varices are a serious complication of liver cirrhosis. This study evaluated the platelet count-to-spleen diameter ratio as a non-invasive predictor of these varices in Ethiopian patients. We found a ratio below 1119 accurately identified at-risk patients, outperforming platelet count and spleen diameter alone. This ratio could be a valuable screening tool in resource-limited settings, but further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness. |
