Utility of Advanced Age as a Predictor of Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt
Advanced age is strongly associated with 1-year mortality and 1-year development of HE post-TIPS. Poorer post-TIPS outcomes were further observed in patients with higher MELD. Therefore, during selection of advanced age patients for TIPS, MELD score should be considered for better long-term outcomes.
