Does use of 12x/month haemoglobin monitoring with a computer algorithm reduce haemoglobin variability?
Use of a computer algorithm to analyse 12x/month haemoglobin values provides early evidence of haemoglobin trends and allows more appropriate anaemia management, with decreased haemoglobin variability, lower EPO doses and more patients achieving target haemoglobin.
TIPS placed to the left portal vein with optimal stent position may reduce the risk of hepatic encephalopathy and improve the primary patency rates, thereby prolonging survival.
