Introduction 40 kg/m2 enrolled in an ancillary study of a prospective multicenter study in 3 diabetes clinics in France between Dec 2022 and Dec 2023 (NCT04435054). All participants underwent the same day liver stiffness measurement using vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) by FibroScan®, 2D-measurements of shear wave speed (2DTE) by Hepatoscope™, hepatic fat content assessment using controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) by FibroScan® and ultrasound attenuation (ATT) and backscattering coefficient (BSC) by Hepatoscope. The non-parametric spearman correlation coefficients between VCTE and 2DTE, and between CAP and ATT or BSC were assessed in participants with both valid VCTE and 2DTE. Results: 130 participants (86% male) were included (mean age: 62.6 years, mean BMI: 31.7±3.7 kg/m2). Median liver parameters were as follows: VCTE: 6.5 ± 4.3 kPa, 2DTE: 6.2 ± 4.5 kPa, CAP: 313 ± 54 dB/m, ATT: 277 ±49 dB/m and BSC: -22.7±-5.3. 2DTE correlated strongly with VCTE (r2: 0.47, p0,001). Likewise, ATT and BSC using Hepatoscope™ correlated significantly with CAP (r2: 0.54, p0.001 and r2:0.61 p0.001, respectively). Conclusion: These preliminary data indicate that Hepatoscope™ 2DTE is significantly correlated with VCTE. It provides the proof of concept that liver assessment using the Hepatoscope™ could be used in diabetology for liver fibrosis and steatosis assessment. Further studies in larger cohort are needed to determine the cut-offs and diagnostic performance of the Hepatoscope™ in diabetology. Disclosure C.
