Abstract

Background: Sarcopenia is an acknowledged risk factor for individuals with chronic liver disease, however, the influence on outcomes in patients receiving transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) remains underexplored.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the association between sarcopenia and incidence of complications and mortality post-TIPS.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 175 patients who underwent TIPS between 2011-2021 at a Belgian tertiary care center. Transverse psoas muscle thickness (TPMT) was measured at baseline, with a subset of 85 patients having a second TPMT after 1-2 years for assessment of evolution.

Results: Over a median follow-up of 453 days (IQR 76-1179), sarcopenic patients exhibited a higher prevalence of complications (74.1% vs. 57.9%, p = 0.04) and one-year mortality (53.4% vs. 22.3%, p < 0.001) post-TIPS. Notably, 58.8% of patients showed an increase >10% from baseline TPMT/length post-TIPS, with the greatest improvement observed in severely sarcopenic patients (4.00 ± 4.55 mm/m vs. -0.82 ± 2.68 mm/m, p < 0.001) and in those patients free from TIPS-related complications (3.18 ± 4.09 mm/m vs. 1.31 ± 3.21 mm/m, p = 0.022).

Conclusion: Sarcopenia increases the risk of complications and mortality post-TIPS. Importantly, sarcopenia improves in patients receiving TIPS, particularly in those with severe sarcopenia at baseline and free of TIPS-related complications.

接受 TIPS 治疗的患者中的肌少症与并发症和死亡风险的增加密切相关。

背景：目的：本研究旨在探讨肌肉疏松症与经颈静脉肝内门体系统分流术（TIPS）后并发症发生率和死亡率之间的关系：研究对比利时一家三级医疗中心在 2011-2021 年间接受 TIPS 的 175 名患者进行了回顾性分析。在基线时测量了腰横肌厚度（TPMT），其中 85 名患者在 1-2 年后进行了第二次 TPMT 测量，以评估演变情况：在中位随访 453 天（IQR 76-1179）期间，肌无力患者在 TIPS 术后的并发症发生率（74.1% 对 57.9%，P = 0.04）和一年死亡率（53.4% 对 22.3%，P < 0.001）均较高。值得注意的是，58.8%的患者在TIPS术后的TPMT/长度比基线增加了10%以上，严重肌少症患者（4.00 ± 4.55 mm/m vs. -0.82 ± 2.68 mm/m，p < 0.001）和无TIPS相关并发症的患者（3.18 ± 4.09 mm/m vs. 1.31 ± 3.21 mm/m，p = 0.022）的改善幅度最大：结论：肌肉疏松症会增加 TIPS 术后并发症和死亡率的风险。重要的是，肌肉疏松症在接受 TIPS 的患者中会得到改善，尤其是那些基线时患有严重肌肉疏松症且未出现 TIPS 相关并发症的患者。
