High Score of ELST-Blue in Endoscopic Ultrasonography Strain Elastography May Provide a High Risk Group of Early Chronic Pancreatitis with the Reduction of Apolipoprotein A2-i Index. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background To evaluate the usefulness of the ELST‐blue score to explore its potential application in identifying high‐risk groups for early chronic pancreatitis (ECP) through reflecting on pancreatic elasticity and the reduction of pancreatic function, and we tried to demonstrate whether the ELST‐blue score was significantly associated with ...
