Figure 3 Forest plot of risk factors for hepatic encephalopathy severity in post-transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt patients using ordinal logistic regression.
No significant association between the underdilation strategy and overt hepatic encephalopathy severity (odds ratio = 0.683, 95% confidence interval: 0.194-2.404, P = 0.552). OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval; BMI: Body mass index; MELD: Model for end-stage liver disease; TIPS: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt; PPG: Portal venous pressure gradient.
