Temporal trends of cirrhosis associated conditions

Figure 3 10-year temporal trends of mean length of stay and mean ages. A: 10-year temporal trends of mean length of stay (LOS); B: 10-year temporal trends of mean ages. Mean LOS for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) decreased from 9.6 d in 2005 to 8.0 in 2014 with 17%. However, other cirrhosis related conditions and national LOS did not show any significant changes. TIPS had persistently higher LOS as compared to other conditions. Mean ages of cirrhosis-associated conditions were consistently higher than national average, and HC persistently had the highest mean age. EV: Esophageal varices with bleeding; HC: Hepatic encephalopathy/coma; TIPS: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt; SBP: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
