Core Tip
Core Tip: Cirrhosis is a predominant contributor to global morbidity and mortality. This study sought to probe the relationship between Child-Pugh and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores, as well as serum cystatin C (Cys C) levels, and the prognosis in patients with liver cirrhosis and refractory ascites who have undergone transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Child-Pugh and MELD scores have been extensively utilized for assessing the prognosis of cirrhosis, whereas serum Cys C levels serve as a potential biomarker reflecting renal function. The outcomes of this investigation may furnish valuable insights into the prognostic assessment of patients with liver cirrhosis and refractory ascites undergoing TIPS treatment.
