Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has been predicting liver decompensation and survival in cirrhotics. The aim of our study was to investigate if spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) by 2D shear‐wave elastography could predict better the probability of decompensation and mortality, compared with LSM and other parameters.
