About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Quality of Life in Patients Referred for Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) - Pilot Observational Cross-sectional Study

Patient with Advanced Chronic Liver Disease often present portal hypertension which may lead to bleading or ascites.

One of the treatment of portal hypertension in these patients is the placement of a Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS).

Read more

The indications for placing TIPS take on various clinical presentations, the most classic being digestive haemorrhage by rupture of oesophageal and/or gastric varices and refractory ascites.

TIPS placement involves changes in haemodynamics and liver function that may alter the patients' condition and quality of life.

Very few articles have evaluated the quality of life of these patients and when quality of life is evaluated it is mostly with not adapted or not validated scales.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the quality of life of patients who have undergone TIPS using a validated and standardised quality of life questionnaire (the SF-36 questionnaire).
