Liver fibrosis may progress to liver cirrhosis. Pharmacological treatment aims to preserve liver function and induce remission. Transient elastography (FibroScan\u00ae, TE) has already been applied in many chronic liver diseases for non\u2010invasive liver stiffness\/fibrosis assessment. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) in relation to liver fibrosis on biopsy, selected clinical features and laboratory markers of liver function in the largest paediatric AIH cohort studied.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included 86 children with AIH (41 females) with a mean age of 14 years with AIH. Thirty\u2010seven patients were na\u00efve, and 49 had been previously pharmacologically treated. All patients underwent diagnostic or monitoring liver biopsy and LSM on TE. In selected cases, upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy was performed to search for oesophageal varices (EV). The relationship between LSM and fibrosis stage was analysed statistically. The optimal cut\u2010off values of LSM were calculated to predict individual fibrosis stages and the presence of EV using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In our study, LSM was highly accurate in assessing fibrosis staging.
