Strain elastography for detecting advanced Fontan-associated liver disease: a retrospective study
Using a two-step approach, discriminating aFALD with platelet counts below 185 × 10<sup>3</sup>/μL by platelets alone, and for those with higher platelet counts, requiring LFI > 2.21 could discriminate aFALD with high accuracy. Early detection of aFALD and early intervention, including testing for aFALD, may lead to an improved prognosis of aFALD.
