摘　　要：Citation of this article:Zhou R,Chen J,Huang R,Yang Y,Shi Y.The Failure Rate of Liver Stiffness Measured by Vibrationcontrolled Transient Elastography in the United States and Relevant Factors.J Clin Transl Hepatol 2024;12(12):1067–1069.doi:10.14218/JCTH.2024.00261.Liver cirrhosis is the 11th leading cause of death worldwide,with an estimated one million deaths annually due to complications of cirrhosis.1 Since the progression to cirrhosis is often asymptomatic,it is critical to screen individuals at risk of progressive fibrosis to prevent the development of cirrhosis in the general population.Vibration-controlled transient elastography(VCTE),which measures liver stiffness by analyzing the speed of shear waves,is increasingly used as a non-invasive tool to screen for advanced liver fibrosis.It has demonstrated excellent performance compared to liver biopsy.2,3 However,ensuring a high success rate for the measurements is particularly important,especially in the context of large-scale screening.While a high success rate of liver stiffness measurement(LSM)by VCTE has been reported in patients with metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease,4 limited data is available on its application in the general population.
