Validating Liver Stiffness Measurement as a Prognostic Tool in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: Insights from the Prospective FICUS Cohort

This prospective study confirms that liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by Fibroscan® effectively predicts transplant-free survival in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), highlighting both static and dynamic assessments as powerful risk stratification and potential clinical trial endpoints.

Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography vs. Liver Histology: Head-to-Head Prognostic Comparison in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

This study demonstrates that vibration-controlled transient elastography offers prognostic accuracy comparable to liver histology for predicting liver-related events in MASLD, supporting its role as a noninvasive alternative in clinical practice and trials.
