Long-term Outcomes and Health Perceptions in Pediatric-onset Portal Hypertension Complicated by Varices
Conclusions:
Pediatric-onset portal hypertension is a heterogeneous disease with significant long-term morbidity, requiring multimodal approach with considerable resources and continuation of follow-up in adulthood. Although mortality to variceal bleeding was avoided, bleeding episodes recurred also in adulthood, while patient-reported health of long-term survivors was encouraging.
