Background: Although fibrosis is the main determinant of liver stiffness, other disease-related factors usually disregarded in studies on liver elastography, such as inflammation and cholestasis, may influence liver stiffness.
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of two-dimensional (2-D) shear wave elastography in assessing liver fibrosis in children with chronic liver disease by controlling for the confounding role of several disease- and patient-related factors.
Materials And Methods: Three disease groups were studied: 1) various chronic liver diseases, 2) autoimmune hepatitis and 3) biliary atresia.
