An EVendo score of \u22643.90 identified patients with no gastroesophageal varices (GEV) and varices needing treatment (VNT) with sensitivities of 82% and 83% and specificities of 57% and 34%, respectively. The negative predictive value for VNT was 94%. A comparison with the Baveno VI criteria in Child\u2013Turcotte\u2013Pugh-A patients showed spared endoscopy and missed VNT rates with EVendo score cutoffs of \u22643.9 and \u22644.5 and the Baveno VI criteria of 25%, 33%, and 16.6% and 1.7%, 1.7%, and 0%, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>EVendo score is reliable in clinical practice for predicting GEV and VNT.
