Honored to see our work grab the attention of none other than Dr. Elliot Tapper. I too am looking forward to seeing prospective data on this!
If controlled, pre-TIPS HE is not associated with patient survival or clinical outcomes, such as development of HE within 60 days of TIPS or hospital admission for HE within 6 months. journals.lww.com/ctg/Fulltex… #cirrhosis #livertwitter
