Abstract

[Extract] Background and Aim: The Baveno VI guidelines recommend that screening for high-risk varices (HRV) by endoscopy can be safely avoided in patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) with a liver stiffness measurement (LSM) < 20 kPa and a platelet count> 150 × 10 9. We aimed to validate these criteria in a real-world cohort in western Sydney, Australia.
