Covered transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt vs large volume paracentesis in patients with cirrhosis: A real-world propensity score-matched study

Figure 1 Patient recruitment, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt, large volume paracentesis. TIPSS: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt; LVP: Large volume paracentesis.

Figure 2 Kaplan Meier graph. A: Kaplan Meier graph of transplant-free survival for the whole cohort, (P = 0.30, log-rank); B: Kaplan Meier graph of transplant-free survival for propensity score-matched cohort, (P = 0.990, log-rank); C: Kaplan Meier graph of de-novo hepatic encephalopathy for the whole cohort, (P = 0.03, log-rank); D: Kaplan Meier graph of de novo hepatic encephalopathy for propensity score-matched cohort, (P < 0.029, log-rank). HE: Hepatic encephalopathy; TIPSS: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt; LVP: Large volume paracentesis.
