Spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) with the standard FibroScan\u00ae (SSM@50Hz) has been evaluated. However, the EV grading could be underestimated because of a ceiling threshold (75\u00a0kPa) of the SSM@50Hz. The aims were to evaluate SSM by a novel spleen\u2010dedicated FibroScan\u00ae (SSM@100Hz) for EV diagnosis compared with SSM@50Hz, other validated NITs and Baveno VI criteria.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This prospective multicentre study consecutively enrolled patients with chronic liver disease; blood data, endoscopy, liver stiffness measurement (LSM), SSM@50Hz and SSM@100Hz were collected.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two hundred and sixty patients met inclusion criteria. SSM@100Hz success rate was significantly higher than that of SSM@50Hz (92.5% vs 76.0%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001). SSM@100Hz accuracy for the presence of EV (AUC\u00a0=\u00a00.728) and HRV (AUC\u00a0=\u00a00.756) was higher than in other NITs. SSM@100Hz AUC for large EV (0.782) was higher than SSM@50Hz (0.720, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.027). AUC for HRV with SSM@100Hz (0.780) was higher than with LSM (0.615, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001). The spared endoscopy rate of Baveno VI criteria (8.1%) was significantly increased by the combination to SSM@50Hz (26.5%) or SSM@100Hz (38.9%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001 vs others).
