What this trial is about
In this study, a single non-invasive tool, spleen stiffness measurement (SSM), was used to monitor the disease regression of inpatients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and acute liver injury. The present study aimed to establish an early diagnosis warning model for acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) by SSM and investigate the effect of dynamic changes in SSM on the short-term prognosis (28-day, 90-day morbidity and mortality) of inpatients with CLD and acute liver injury.
