Survival of patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome related to cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic (schistosomiasis) portal hypertension.

Background: The hepatosplenic schistosomiasis (HSS) with portal hypertension can cause vascular complications such as hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS). HPS increases the risk of mortality in patients with cirrhosis; however, there is no data on the mortality of patients with HSS and HPS.

Aim: To perform a survival analysis of patients with HPS related to cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic (schistosomiasis) portal hypertension.
