Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate recovery of platelet count after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation and patient factors predicting platelet recovery after TIPS creation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Adults with cirrhosis who underwent TIPS creation at 9 U.S. hospitals from 2010 to 2015 were included in this retrospective analysis. Change in platelets from before TIPS to 4 months after TIPS creation was characterized. Logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with top quartile percentage platelet increase after TIPS. Subgroup analyses were performed among patients with a pre-TIPS platelet count of ≤50 ×10
RESULTS: A total of 601 patients were included. The median absolute change in platelets was 1 × 10
CONCLUSIONS: TIPS creation did not result in significant platelet increase, except among patients with a platelet count of ≤50 × 10
