简要总结
The aim of the current study is to assess if EUS-PPGM could predict the treatment response and outcomes of varices to endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in patients with chronic hepatitis. The hypothesis is that a high EUS-PPGM value at 3 months correlates with the presence of varices requiring EVL in patients that have received primary or secondary variceal prophylaxis on 1 year follow-up upper endoscopy.

结局指标
主要结局
Presence or absence of varices requiring EVL on 1 year follow-up upper endoscopy
时间窗: 1 year
The number of patients with a high EUS-PPGM at 3 months will be correlated with the presence or absence of varices requiring EVL on 1 year follow-up upper endoscopy.
次要结局
- Other outcome measurements(1 year)
