Predictive ability of shear wave elastography (SWE) for esophageal varices (EVs) compared with histological fibrosis stage, blood markers of liver fibrosis, and splenic volume. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves for Vs values, fibrosis stage 3–4 (liver biopsy), FIB-4 index, platelet count, serum levels of M2BPGi, hyaluronic acid, type IV collagen 7S, and splenic volume in predicting EVs. The optimal cutoff value, sensitivity, and specificity when Vs values are used are described
