[The prognosis of liver failure in patients with liver cirrhosis under surgical treatment for portal hypertension]. 1993

A V Beresnev, and V A Siplivyĭ, and S M Mel'nikova, and S Kh Cherevatova

On the basis of studying the intraoperative biopsy specimens in 44 patients with hepatic cirrhosis and portal hypertension syndrome, who had a distal splenorenal anastomosis been created, the authors have distinguished three types of morphological changes--A, B, C. A significant dependence between the type of cirrhosis and pronouncement of hepatic failure after the operation and life-time of a patient after the operation as well has been established. Type C has the greatest risk, type B requires differential approach, type A is prognostically favourable concerning both the outcome of the operation and life-time of a patient.

D012189	Retrospective Studies	Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
