門靜脈高壓癥是肝硬化的主要并發癥之一,包括腹水、肝性腦?。℉E)和出血。食管胃靜脈曲張破裂出血(esophagogastricvaricealbleeding,EGVB)是肝硬化常見的主要并發癥,6周病死率為 10%~20%[1] 。經頸靜脈肝內門體分流術(TIPS)可以快速有效地降低門靜脈壓力,成為門靜脈高壓相關并發癥(尤其是靜脈曲張出血和頑固性腹水)的重要治療方法。2017年美國肝病學會(AASLD)實踐指南2推薦對內科治療失敗或再出血風險高的患者進行早期TIPS。既往研究表明,TIPS可以改善肝硬化患者的反復靜脈曲張出血率和生存率[3-5]
近年來,多項研究報道了肝硬化門靜脈高壓癥合并EGVB患者的預后影響因素。Riggio等6指出,質子泵抑制劑與肝硬化患者的輕微型HE有關,增加患者病死率。肌少癥是影響肝硬化患者預后的另一個因素。骨骼肌質量下降不僅反映了患者的營養不良狀態,還與TIPS術后HE和患者生活質量惡化相關[7]。腸道菌群紊亂可能與疾病進展和不良預后有關[8]。既往已有研究評估了幾種肝病評分系統對TIPS治療后早期病死率的預測價值。MELD和MELD-Na評分可有效預測TIPS術后的早期生存情況[9]。一項單中心回顧性研究顯示,年齡、腎功能、血清鈉和血清白蛋白水平是TIPS術后肝硬化患者長期生存的獨立預測因素[10],對于低鈉血癥患者,TIPS支架置入應謹慎。
現有的單一評分系統(如MELD評分)預測效能有限,整合多因素模型可提高準確性[11]。列線圖作為多變量可視化預測工具,在腫瘤領域已展現出優勢[12-13]。本研究擬通過分析TIPS術后EGVB患者的多種預后影響因素,構建整合多因素的生存預測模型,為個體化治療提供依據。……
