Features on contrast-enhanced computed tomography for predicting recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma by Ping-Chien Li, Chien-Cheng Chen

“…Results The size of submucosal EVs larger than 9.5 mm was identified as the independent risk factor for recurrent EV bleeding in the next 6 months (the area under a receiver operating characteristic curve, AUROC: 0.816, P < 0.001) with 81.1% sensitivity and 80.0% specificity. The positive predictive value was 81.1%, indicating that high-risk EVs were 1.8 times more likely to bleed within the next six months. …”
