The goals of the study described here were to evaluate the feasibility and reproducibility of measuring spleen stiffness (SS) using point shear wave elastography in a series of cirrhotic patients and to investigate whether SS, liver stiffness (LS) and other non-invasive parameters are correlated with the presence of esophagogastric varices (EVs). Fifty-four cirrhotic patients with low-grade EVs or without EVs at esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy were enrolled. They underwent abdominal ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound of hepatic vessels simultaneously with p-SWE of the liver and spleen. In 42 patients, the accuracy of LS and SS, as well as of platelet count and spleen longitudinal diameter, in predicting the presence of EVs was evaluated. The technical success was 90.74% for LS (49/54 patients) and 77.78% for SS (42/54 patients). Inter-observer agreement for SS measurement was high. Both LS and SS correlated with esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy: LS had the highest accuracy in predicting the presence of EVs (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUROC] = 0.913); SS had the lowest accuracy (AUROC = 0.675); platelet count and spleen diameter had intermediate accuracy (AUROC = 0.731 and 0.729, respectively). SS did not have an advantage over LS in predicting low-grade EVs and cannot be proposed as a useful tool in the diagnostic process of cirrhotic patients who require screening esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy.
