Quality improvement for vibration controlled transient elastography using a novel analysis algorithm
Our novel probabilistic algorithm acknowledging the intrinsic limitations of correlating LSM with histologic fibrosis stage, particularly at intermediate values. Overall, providers found this reporting output improved their experience in caring for patients and helpful for the patient experience when biopsy and VCTE results are discordant. Refinements to this reporting output are needed to enhance patients' understanding of test results.
