Bedside risk‐scoring model for predicting 6‐week mortality in cirrhotic patients undergoing endoscopic band ligation for acute variceal bleeding
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology"
DOI: 10.1111/jgh.15426
Abstract: Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is a fatal adverse event of cirrhosis, and endoscopic band ligation (EBL) is the standard treatment for AVB. We developed a novel bedside risk‐scoring model to predict the 6‐week mortality in… read more here.
