BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) implantation is an established procedure to treat portal hypertension with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) as a common complication. There is lack of evidence concerning HE prophylaxis after TIPS.
METHODS METHODS
N = 233 patients receiving TIPS between 2011 and 2018 at a German tertiary care center were included. Of them, 21% (n = 49) had a history of HE. The follow-up period was 12 months. The risk factors of post-TIPS HE were analyzed via multivariate analysis. The efficacy of prophylactic medication regimens was studied. The results show that 35.6% (n = 83) received no medication (
RESULTS RESULTS
Multivariate analysis revealed higher age (
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Higher age and previous HE are risk factors post-TIPS HE. In patients with HE prior to TIPS, effective prophylaxis of HE is feasible via combination of lactulose and rifaximin with no additional benefit from
