They were divided into 2 groups: group I (35 with CLD) and group II (18 with EHPVO). Splenorenal shunt (SS), gallbladder wall varices, gallbladder wall thickening (GT), and lesser omental thickness (LOT) were compared with the presence of EVs, gastric varices, and portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG). Univariate (<jats:italic>\u03c7<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> test, Fisher exact test, and Wilcoxon signed rank test) and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses were performed. The area under the receiver operating curve was calculated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>EVs were observed in 48.5% of patients with CLD and in 83.3% of patients with EHPVO. SS (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0329) and LOT (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0151) predicted EV among patients with CLD. A median of 5.3 mm of LOT was considered a predictor of EVs among these patients. Multivariate analysis showed SS as an independent predictor of EVs in patients with EHPVO (odds ratio 15). Gallbladder varices (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> <jats:italic>=<\/jats:italic> 0.0245) and GT (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> <jats:italic>=<\/jats:italic> 0.0289) predicted EVs among patients with EHPVO. PHG occurred more often among patients with CLD who had SS (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> <jats:italic>=<\/jats:italic> 0.0384) and greater LOT (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> <jats:italic>=<\/jats:italic> 0.0226).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>SS and a greater LOT were indicative of EV among children and adolescents with CLD.
