A55 PREDICTORS OF ENDOSCOPIC HIGH RISK ESOPHAGEAL VARICES IN COMPENSATED CIRRHOSIS: CAN WE AVOID FIBROSCAN?

BackgroundPatients with cirrhosis are at risk of developing esophageal varices (EV). Recently, criteria based on elastography and platelet count (Baveno VI criteria) have been adopted and included in practice guidelines to circumvent screening endoscopy (EGD). However, elastography measurement is not widely available.
