Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for OHE after Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Key Points

• OHE risk can be predicted through a new model tested across multiple centers, indicating its utility for clinicians.
• The model achieved a validation score of 0.80, showcasing its robustness for identifying patients at risk of complications.
• Retrospective study design assessed outcomes associated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedures, offering valuable insights into patient management.
• Early identification of patients susceptible to complications may enhance treatment strategies and improve overall patient outcomes.
