Ref.A.: Refractory ascites; V.B.: Variceal bleeding; H.H.: Hepatic hydrothorax; TIPS: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt; MELD: Model for end-stage liver disease; MELD-Na: Model for end-stage liver disease incorporating serum sodium; HF: Heart failure; MAFL: Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease. Studies reporting “excluded” under cardiac disease excluded patients with pre-existing or clinically overt cardiac dysfunction from inclusion. Percentages reflect proportions within each study cohort.
