Cirrhosis Is a Predictor of Adverse Events in Endoscopic Ultrasound Fine-Needle Aspiration: A Propensity-Score Analysis

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Cirrhotic patients are at increased risk of adverse events (AEs) after invasive procedures. However, the safety profile of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) fine-needle aspiration in cirrhotic patients is still unknown. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> To examine the AEs rate after EUS fine-needle aspiration in cirrhotic patients as compared to a control group of noncirrhotic patients....
