Predicting Portal Pressure Gradient in Patients with Decompensated Cirrhosis: A Non-invasive Deep Learning Model.

Journal: Digestive diseases and sciences
PMID: 39466491

Abstract

BACKGROUND: A high portal pressure gradient (PPG) is associated with an increased risk of failure to control esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage and refractory ascites in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. However, direct measurement of PPG is invasive, limiting its routine use in clinical practice. Consequently, there is an urgent need for non-invasive techniques to assess PPG.
