Beyond MELD Score: Association of Machine Learning-derived CT Body Composition with 90-Day Mortality Post Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Placement by Elhakim, Tarig, Mansur, Arian, Kondo, Jordan, Omar, Omar M. F., Ahmed, Khalid, Tabari, Azadeh, Brea, Allison, Ndakwah, Gabriel, Iqbal, Shams, Allegretti, Andrew S., Fintelmann, Florian J., Wehrenberg-Klee, Eric, Bridge, Christopher, Daye, Dania

“…Multivariable logistic regression showed that SMA (OR = 0.97, p < 0.01), SMI (OR = 0.94, p = 0.03), SFA (OR = 0.99, p = 0.01), and VFA (OR = 0.99, p = 0.02) remained significant predictors of 90-day mortality when adjusted for MELD score. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that including SMA, SFA, and VFA improves the predictive power of MELD score in predicting 90-day mortality after TIPS (AUC, 0.84; 95% CI: 0.77, 0.91; p = 0.02). …”

A lower proportion of dual-mobility procedures were revised for dislocation than conventional THAs (0.9% versus 1.4%) but a higher proportion were revised for infection (1.2% versus 0.8%). …”
