Background and rationale for the studyLimited studies have aimed to define the cut-offs of XL probe (XL cut-offs) for different stages of liver fibrosis, whereas those of M probe (M cut-offs) may not be applicable to XL probe. We aimed to derive appropriate XL cut-offs in overweight patients. Patients with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by both probes were recruited. XL cut-offs probe for corresponding M cut-offs were derived from an exploratory cohort, and subsequently validated in a subgroup patients also underwent liver biopsy. The diagnostic accuracy of XL cut-offs to diagnose advanced fibrosis was evaluated.ResultsTotal 517 patients (63% male, mean age 58) who had reliable LSM by both probes were included in the exploratory cohort. There was a strong correlation between the LSM by M probe (LSM-M) and LSM by XL probe (LSM-XL)(r ²= 0.89, p‹ 0.001). A decision tree using LSM-XL was learnt to predict the 3 categories of LSM-M (‹ 6.0 kPa, 6.0-11.9 kPa and≥ 12.0 kPa), and XL cut-offs at 4.8 kPa and 10.7 kPa were identified. These cut-offs were subsequently validated in a cohort of 147 patients who underwent liver biopsy. The overall accuracy was 89% among 62 patients whose LSM-XL‹ 4.8 kPa or≥ 10.7 kPa. These cut-offs would have avoided under-staging of fibrosis among patients with body mass index (BMI)› 25-30 kg/m ² but not› 30 kg/m ².ConclusionsXL cut-offs at 4.8 kPa and 10.7 kPa were the best estimates of 6.0 kPa and 12.0 kPa of M probe for patients with BMI› 25-30 kg/m ². Patients with BMI› 30 kg/m ² might use M probe cut-offs for XL probe.
