NCT ID NCT07437638
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at medical records of 624 adults with liver cirrhosis who had a procedure called TIPS to relieve pressure in the liver. The goal is to create a simple tool that helps doctors predict which patients are at high risk for a brain complication called hepatic encephalopathy after the procedure. By identifying high-risk patients beforehand, doctors can take steps to prevent or manage this complication.
