Refining Prognosis in Cirrhosis Patients With Ascites: Impact of Acute vs. Non‐Acute Decompensation
The novel classification of acute and non‐acute decompensation provides prognostic information, but the role of hospitalisation status should be reconsidered. ABSTRACT Background A more granular understanding of hepatic decompensation in cirrhosis has led to the classification of acute decompensation (AD) and non‐acute decompensation (NAD).

Impact of Frailty on the Prognosis of Patients With Liver Cirrhosis Undergoing Insertion of a TIPS
In patients with cirrhosis undergoing TIPS, frailty—measured by the Liver Frailty Index—improved in those with poor baseline status; therefore, high frailty should not be seen as a contraindication to elective TIPS. Additionally, LFI assessment before TIPS enables identification of patients with excellent survival prognosis.
