Figure 1 Correlation between Shunt index and Child-Pugh class.
Among Child-Pugh class a patients, the median thallium scan shunt index was 0.31 ± 0.24, among class B patients was 0.82 ± 0.39, and among class C patients was 1.19 ± 0.30. The thallium scan shunt index tended to increase as the Child-Pugh score became higher (P < 0.01). Shunt index: Transrectal thallium portal scan shunt index; Child: Child-Pugh class P < 0.001
