Probability of best treatment: probability of being best, second best, third best, etc. for each treatment for blood transfusion (red blood cells) (vascular occlusion methods). A probability of more than 90% is a reliable indicator that a treatment is best with regards to the specific outcome. A probability of less than 90% is less reliable. Intermittent selective portal triad clamping has about 90% probability of being best treatment. However, other random and systematic errors make this finding unreliable.
Con: continuous; Int: intermittent; HVE: hepatic vascular exclusion; PTC: portal triad clamping.
