Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes Associated With Distinct Hemodynamic Patterns in End-stage Liver Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Despite advances in the diagnosis and therapeutics strategies for pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD), the impact of hemodynamic patterns among ESLD patients identified through right heart catheterization (RHC) on clinical outcomes remains poorly understood.

Methods

This single-center retrospective cohort study identified patients diagnosed with ESLD who underwent RHC from August 2018 to June 2023. Demographic and clinical data, including comorbidities, transthoracic echocardiography, and RHC findings, were obtained. Our outcomes of interest were all-cause mortality and the chance of receiving orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) within a year after RHC. Kaplan-Meier with log-rank test was employed to generate survival c
