Immunonutritive scoring for survival stratification in patients undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: Results from a dual-center study

Background Immunonutritive scoring has been identified as an additional tool for survival stratification in patients with various cancer entities and chronic diseases. However, immunonutritive scoring has not been evaluated in patients undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Furthermore, it remains unclear which of the proposed scoring systems is the most applicable for this patient group.
