AIM: To evaluate the correlation between liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) and @entity1575 stage and the accuracy of LSM for predicting significant and advanced @entity82 , in comparison with serum markers. METHODS: We consecutively analyzed 70 @entity1 with various chronic @entity409 . Liver @entity82 was staged from F0 to F4 according to the Batts and Ludwig scoring system. Significant and advanced @entity82 was defined as stage F >=  2 and F >=  3, respectively. The accuracy of prediction for @entity82 was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS: Seventy @entity1 , 15 were belonged to F0-F1 stage, 20 F2, 13 F3 and 22 F4. LSM was increased with progression of @entity82 stage (F0-F1: 6.77    1.72, F2: 9.98    3.99, F3: 15.80    7.73, and F4: 22.09    10.09, P < 0.001). Diagnostic accuracies of LSM for prediction of F >=  2 and F >=  3 were 0.915 (95%CI: 0.824-0.968, P < 0.001) and 0.913 (95%CI: 0.821-0.967, P < 0.001), respectively. The cut-off values of LSM for prediction of F >=  2 and F >=  3 were 8.6 kPa with 78.2% sensitivity and 93.3% specificity and 10.46 kPa with 88.6% sensitivity and 80.0% specificity, respectively. However, there were no significant differences between LSM and serum hyaluronic acid and type IV collagen in diagnostic accuracy. CONCLUSION: SWE showed a significant correlation with the severity of @entity1575 and was useful and accurate to predict significant and advanced @entity82 , comparable with serum markers.
