Assessment of sarcopenia improves the prediction of post-TIPS mortality in older adult patients with cirrhosis
Background and Aims
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has been demonstrated to be feasible in older adult patients (age ≥70 years), yet the selection criteria remain suboptimal. Sarcopenia, highly prevalent in elderly population, may be significantly associated with post-TIPS outcome. This study aimed at evaluating the impact of baseline sarcopenia on post-TIPS survival in older adults with cirrhosis.
Method
A retrospective analysis of the prospective Italian TIPS-Registry was conducted to identify patients ≥70 years who received TIPS from June 2015 to March 2023. The availability of baseline abdominal CT scan was a mandatory inclusion criterion. Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was evaluated at the L3-L4 level. Sarcopenia was defined as SMI <50 cm2/m2 for men and <39 cm2/m2 for women. Probability of liver-related death was evaluated by competing risks analysis. A prediction model for liver-related mortality was created.
Results
One-hundred and fifteen patients were included: median age 74 years (IQR 3.1), 62% male, median dry-BMI 25.7 (IQR 4.7), 60% prevalence of sarcopenia. The main etiologies were viral (40%), alcohol-associated cirrhosis (23%), and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (20%). Refractory ascites (57%) was the main indications for TIPS. During a mean follow up of 20 months (IQR 20), 40 (34.8%) patients died for liver-related causes and 16 (13.9%) for extrahepatic causes. Liver-related mortality was significantly higher in patients with sarcopenia than in those without (6-months: 25.0% vs. 2.2%; 1-year: 43.0% vs. 4.8%, respectively; p value <0.001). A predictive model including INR, creatinine, and sarcopenia was developed to estimate liver-related mortality. The model achieved good predictive performances with AUCs of 0.826, 0.788, and 0.712 at 6-month, 1-year, and 2-years, respectively.
Conclusion
Due to its significant impact on survival, the evaluation of sarcopenia may improve the selection of older adults candidate to TIPS. The new predictive model for post-TIPS liver-related mortality deserves external validation.
