Abstract
Malnutrition is frequent in patients with cirrhosis and has been associated with poor prognosis. The Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score was created to predict survival after Transjugular Intrahepatic Porto-systemic Shunt (TIPS) but lacks a nutritional parameter.To evaluate the prognostic value of serum cholesterol in patients with cirrhosis undergoing TIPS and to develop a prognostic score to predict survival.An explorative...
