In-Hospital Outcomes of Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension and Cirrhosis: A 6-Year Population Cohort Study of Over One Million Patients

ConclusionsPatients with pulmonary hypertension and cirrhosis have increased mortality and hospital utilization compared to patients with only pulmonary hypertension. We identified key drivers for these outcomes. Targeted interventions, such as novel medications, right-to-left shunts, more evaluations for lung transplantation, and reversal of pulmonary vacular  remodeling, are needed for the subgroups identified in this study in order to improve outcomes.
