Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Liver transplant (LT) recipients may succumb to graft-related pathologies, contributing to graft fibrosis (GF). Current methods to diagnose GF are limited, ranging from procedural-related complications to low accuracy. With recent advances in machine learning (ML), we aimed to develop a noninvasive tool using demographic, clinical, laboratory, and B-mode ultrasound (US) features to predict significant fibrosis (METAVIR≥F2).
