We further identified those who underwent transvenous hepatic biopsy between February 2013 and February 2025 and SWE between January 2017 and February 2025. We defined a total hepatic fibrosis score (TFS 0-8) as the sum of the portal fibrosis (0-4) and sinusoidal fibrosis (0-4) scores.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    We identified 318 patients. Of the 318, 204 (64.1%) were male, 266 (83.6%) had ECF, and 52 (16.4%) had LTF, 173 (54.4%) \u22655 years of age underwent 265 transvenous liver biopsies. Of the 265 biopsies, 220 were performed in 143 ECF and 45 in 30 LTF patients. Of the 173 biopsied patients, 76 underwent 115 SWE measurements. Analysis of correlation (TFS vs kPa) between 160 unique biopsy and elastography pairs, showed a correlation coefficient of R\u2009=\u20090.6,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009\u2264\u2009.00001. Of the 160 comparisons, 67 (41.8%) had TFS 0-2 (mild), average kPa: 10.7\u2009\u00b1\u20092.3, 76 (47.6%) had TFS 3-5 (moderate), average kPa: 12.6\u2009\u00b1\u20093.3 and 17 (10.6%) had TFS 6-8 (severe), average kPa: 15.6\u2009\u00b1\u20093.7,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.00001.
