Improved clinical outcomes of patients with cirrhosis and acute variceal bleeding over the last 2 decades Acute variceal bleeding (AVB), a severe adverse event of portal hypertension, may cause death in patients with cirrhosis. We investigated whether outcomes after AVB have improved over time.

#Liver #Cirrhosis #PortalHypertension
A recent @meduniwien.ac.at study investigated #cirrhosis pts with variceal bleeding over two 🕐 🕕 🕘 decades:
✅ decreasing rebleeding🩸rates
✅ lower bleeding-related ☠️ mortality
