Figure 2. Survival 5 years after TIPS stratified using the median of circulating miRNA-34a (A) in the hepatic vein as well as MELD (B), creatinine in short-term follow-up (C) and portal pressure after TIPS (D).

Patients were stratified for circulating miRNA-34a (A) measured in the hepatic vein, MELD-Score before TIPS (B), creatinine in short-term follow-up (C) and portal pressure after TIPS insertion (D) to higher and lower levels of the median of these parameters. Survival rates are shown using Kaplan-Meier plots and analyzed by log-rank test.
