| Core Tip |
In recent years, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has been widely applied in patients with portal hypertension. TIPS is characterized by its minimally invasive nature, proven efficacy, and rapid postoperative recovery, making it a primary treatment option for portal hypertension. However, the development of postoperative hepatic encephalopathy remains a major challenge associated with this technique. Existing predictive scoring models for this complication are limited. This study proposes a novel risk prediction model incorporating nutritional status-related indicators and the Freiburg post-TIPS survival score, which identifies patients at high risk of severe hepatic encephalopathy following TIPS and provides guidance for clinical decision-making. |
