Abstract

Aims: To investigate the predictive value of the FIPS in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. Methods: From June 2011 to June 2021, 63 cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension treated by TIPS with complete clinical records were collected, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The prediction value of FIPS, MELD, MELD-Na, Child-Pugh score and bilirubin-platelet model score on patients' survival was calculated. Results: By the end of follow-up time, FIPS, MELD, MELD-Na, Child-Pugh scores and bilirubinplatelet model scores of the survival group were significantly lower than those of the death group, with statistical significance between the two groups in each scoring model (P<0.05). With the increase of FIPS score, MELD score, MELD-Na score, Child-Pugh score and bilirubin platelet model score, the survival rate of patients in all models decreased, and the group with the highest score of each model had the lowest survival rate. The area under ROC curve of FIPS was 0.881, which was higher than the other four scoring models (P<0.05). Conclusion: FIPS score has better predictive value for survival of patients with portal hypertension cirrhosis treated with TIPS.
