Prognostic Role of Liver Stiffness Measurements Using Magnetic Resonance Elastography in Patients with Compensated Chronic Liver Disease.

• Liver stiffness (LS) values obtained from MRE can provide prognostic information. • The LS value was a significant predictive factor for occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. • The LS value was significantly associated with development of hepatic decompensation. • Survival of compensated chronic liver disease patients was affected by the LS value.
