Elastography for the diagnosis of severity of fibrosis in chronic liver disease: a meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy. (2011, background): “It is simple, highly reproducible, and can be completed in 10 min in an outpatient setting with no significant expertise [3].”
EFSUMB Guidelines and Recommendations on the Clinical Use of Liver Ultrasound Elastography, Update 2017 (Long Version) (2017, background): “The agreement decreases in overweight patients or in early stages of fibrosis [94, 95].”
EASL-ALEH Clinical Practice Guidelines: Non-invasive tests for evaluation of liver disease severity and prognosis. (2015, background): “TE has also been evaluated in a variety of chronic liver diseases [56,144,162], as well as in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) [163,164], and ALD [151,165] (Table 6).”
Non-invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis using transient elastography. (2008, background): “Two independent groups [14,25], recently addressed this issue with similar results.”
WFUMB guidelines and recommendations for clinical use of ultrasound elastography: Part 3: liver. (2015, methodology): “TE has also been evaluated in cholestatic liver diseases (Corpechot et al. 2012, Corpechot et al. 2006b), in a variety of chronic liver diseases (Foucher et al. 2006a; Fraquelli et al. 2007; Ganne-Carrie et al. 2006) as well as in alcoholic liver disease (Nahon et al. 2008; Nguyen-Khac et al. 2008).”
EFSUMB Guidelines and Recommendations on the Clinical Use of Ultrasound Elastography.Part 2: Clinical Applications (2013, neutral): “Intra-and inter-observer reproducibility of TE measurements are excellent (ICC 0.98 for both) in non-obese subjects [40].”
