Comment on “Prognostic Performance of Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) 3.0 for Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) Creation”
摘要
Michimoto et al. demonstrated superior prognostic performance of MELD 3.0 for elective TIPS. While findings support improved risk stratification, lack of data on patients not undergoing TIPS and exclusion of key clinical outcomes limit immediate applicability. Broader validation and inclusion of post-TIPS complications are needed to guide patient selection and treatment decisions effectively.
