  • Cross-sectional observational study conducted between July 2023 and August 2024.
  • Ninety-two patients with decompensated chronic liver disease were evaluated for hepatopulmonary syndrome.
  • Diagnosis of hepatopulmonary syndrome was based on European Respiratory Society criteria.
  • 10 out of 92 patients (10.9%) were diagnosed with hepatopulmonary syndrome.
  • Independent predictors of hepatopulmonary syndrome included orthodeoxia (OR: 50.0, p = 0.011) and hematemesis (OR: 50.0, p = 0.002).
